hello,
i know that there are no indexes/positions in a python dictionary,
what will be the most appropriate way to do this:
addresses = {}
for result in results.get_documents():
addresses[result.name] = result.title
# we add a create new address option, this needs to be
the last value
addresses['create-new-address'] = 'Create new address!'
# {"address-one": "Address One", "create-new-address":
"Create new address!", "address-two": "Address Two"}
return dumps(addresses)
so that when i return the 'dumps(addresses)', i would like the
'create-new-address' to be always at the last position.
any advise much appreciated.

We can assume this is a fragment of a function, since it ends with a return.
You don't say what this function is supposed to return, and you don't
supply the source for dumps().
So, applying my crystal ball and figuring you want a list, just write
dumps so it puts the create-new-address entry at the end. You could
ensure that by changing the name create-new-address to
zzz-create-new-address, and simply doing a sort. Or you could simply return
return dumps(addresses) + "Create new address"
and not put it into the dictionary at all.
