Question

adding arrays inside dictionaries, inside more arrays.

I asked a question and Jakebird451 helped me. But i have most questions now.

fruits = [{
    'name':"apple",
    'color':["red","green"],
    'weight':1
}, {
    'name':"banana",
    'color':["yellow","green"],
    'weight':1
}, {
    'name':"orange",
    'color':"orange",
    'weight':[1,2]
}, {
    'name':"pear",
    'color':"orange",
    "size" : [
                    {
                        "weight" : 4,
                        "mass" : 1.6
                    },
                    {
                        "weight" : 4,
                        "mass" : 2
                    },
                    {
                        "weight" : 4,
                        "mass" : 2.5
                    }
                ]
}]

what if there is an another dictionary with an another array?
how do i use this function to get weight and mass?

def findCarByColor(theColor):
    array=[]
    for x in carList: 
        if theColor in x['Color']:
            array.append(x['name']+" "+x['weight'])
    return array
print findit2("red")

If you want to handle both cases, assuming you have the variable fruits as in the question:

def findItByColor(theColor):
    array=[]
    for x in fruits: 
        if theColor in x['color']:
            try:
                array.append(x['name']+" "+ str(x['weight']))
            except KeyError:
                size = ' '.join( [ '[Weight %s Mass %s]'
                                   % (str(item['weight']),str(item['mass']))
                         for item in x['size'] ])
                array.append( x['name']+" "+ size )
    return array

print findItByColor("orange")

This prints:

['orange [1, 2]', 'pear [Weight 4 Mass 1.6] [Weight 4 Mass 2] [Weight 4 Mass 2.5]']

While this query:

print findItByColor("green")

returns:

['apple 1', 'banana 1']
