Nested Dictionaries

A dictionary can also contain many dictionaries, this is called nested dictionaries.

Example

Create a dictionary that contain three dictionaries:

myfamily = {

 "child1" : {

   "name" : "Emil",

   "year" : 2004

 },

 "child2" : {

    "name" : "Tobias",

   "year" : 2007

 },

  "child3" : {

   "name" : "Linus",

   "year" : 2011

 }

}

Or, if you want to nest three dictionaries that already exists as dictionaries:

Example

Create three dictionaries, than create one dictionary that will contain the other three dictionaries:

child1 = {

 "name" : "Emil",

 "year" : 2004

}

child2 = {

  "name" : "Tobias",

 "year" : 2007

}

child3 = {

 "name" : "Linus",

  "year" : 2011

}

myfamily = {

 "child1" : child1,

  "child2" : child2,

 "child3" : child3

}
