No, but you can write dictionary[key][2] for that purpose:
-- that[list] notation is unneeded and unsupported,
-- indices start from 0 so the 3rd one is indexed as [2]

You don't need the[list] part. Assuming you mean something like:
bands = {'beatles': ['john','paul',' george','ringo']}
....then bands['beatles'][3] == 'ringo'
Peace,
Joe
what if i mean
bands={'beatles ':['john','paul',' george','ringo'],['guitar','bass' ,'guitar',
'drums']}
then i need to put bands['beatles'][1][3]='percussion'
i presume... ?

Invalid syntax.

If you mean that bands is a dictionaries of tuples of lists, yes, but you
need parentheses around the tuples (and I would suggest some formatting
for greater readability), e.g.:
bands = {'beatles': ( ['john', 'paul', 'george', 'ringo'],
['guitar', 'bass', 'guitar', 'drums'] )
}

No need to presume.
Just fire up the interpreter and see.
Compared to comp.lang.pytho n responders,
the results are instant, always accurate, and
immediately available for exploring alternatives.

If things are getting this complicated, you're probably better off a)
wrapping an interface to this dict using an object, or b) just using object
attributes and using those objects as dictionary items.
Oh, and you need to group those two lists into a single list or tuple....

Hi,
if you know the Python internals, here is a newbie question for you.
If I have a list with 100 elements, each element being a long string,
is it more efficient to maintain it as a dictionary (with a key = a
string from the list and value = None) for the purpose of insertion
and removal?
Basically, if Python really implements lists as linked lists but
dictionaries as hash tables, it may well be that hashing a key takes
negligible time...

Hi. I like working with lists of dictionaries since order is preserved
in a list when I want order and the dictionaries make it explicit what
I have got inside them. I find this combination very useful for storing
constants especially. Generally I find myself either needing to
retrieve the values of constants in an iterative way (as in my
contrived example below). Perhaps even more frequent is given one value
is to look up the matching...

Hi all,
I am not altogether experienced in Python, but I haven't been able to

This should be pretty simple: I have two dictionaries, foo and bar.
I am certain that all keys in bar belong to foo as well, but I also
know that not all keys in foo exist in bar. All the keys in both foo
and bar are...
