As shown here – thank you!
Either creating or accessing a dictionary key.
Adding to what @info.victoromondi already said…
There is a part of the code that’s missing here, this v
is a dictionary that was created in some earlier part of the code…
something like v = {}
and it already has a couple of key : value
pairs:
'data' Key
'columns' Key
then the code adds a new key : value
pair in v["data_as_dicts"] = []
where the key is a string "data_as_dicts"
and the value is an empty list that will be filled later in the loop that comes next by the .append()
Method!
Hope this helps
Here is the whole sequence I’m trying to follow (the above pasted code is from the “Looping Techniques” section, a little past the middle on the page). I’m guess v is not defined at any point until then?
I tried entering the pasted code with everything I’ve followed on that page and it returns an error saying “v” is not defined.
