That sounds like a solution. I think the core of the question is as
follows; if I was to call the dict() function for each line, thus
creating a dictionary, and then rename it to dict['name'], will there
be a namespace collision on the next loop when dict() is called again?
Obviously the first dict

In what way? {'key': val}, right?
Anyway, I can always change the format they g

I'd like to do something like this; iterate through a file which
consists of data stored in dictionary format, one dict on each line,
and read each line into a new dict using one of the values in the dict
as its name...
for example:
stuff = open('data.txt')
for eachLine in stuff:
name{}
nam
