Hi,
arr = (dict,dict2,dict3)
builds a tuple.
If you want to build a (ordered) List, which is the closest type to array
(arrays don't exists in python), you may write
myList = [dict, dict2, dict3]
you can access 'a' by writing
myList[2]['a']
Additionally:
myList[0] -> 1st element
myList[-1] -> last element
myList[3:] -> list of elements of myList from the the 4th element to the last
Accessing a list element or a dictionary value is done through the same
operator []. That can be confusing at the very beginning, you'll get used to it
eventually.
