How do i append data to a list contained inside a dict ?

[Jory R Ferrell]

I need to assign lists containing class objects to a key (so i can create var names for a user defined numb of objts). I tried appending to the key of a list and couldnt get it to work. How would i manipulate objects when i rely on a dictionary to refer to them? :/

You can easily modify dictionary values by reassignment or manipulation of the value or its attributes.

>>> dd = {"a": 123, "b": 456}
>>> dd["a"] += 321
>>> dd
{'a': 444, 'b': 456}
>>> dd = {"a": [1,2,3], "b": [4,5,6]}
>>> dd["a"].append(4)
>>> dd
{'a': [1, 2, 3, 4], 'b': [4, 5, 6]}
>>>
