(it”s called dict, or dictionary, and “List”/“dict” are not good variable names)

You’re trying to find the letter 'a' and print it, you aren’t using
the variable a. Don’t put it in quotes. So, do it like this:
data = {"le": "…"}
print(data.keys())
search_key = str(input("> "))
if search_key in data:
print(search_key, ":", data[search_key])
else:
print("Not in dictionary.")
(I also cleaned it up a little)
