Question

Ok, this one should be simple. I have 3 dictionaries. They are all made, ordered, and filled to my satisfaction but I would like to put them all in an overarching dictionary so I can reference and manipulate them more easily and efficiently.

Layer0 = {}
Layer1 = {}
Layer2 = {}

here they are when created, and afterwards I feebly tried different things based on SO questions:

Layers = {Layer0, Layer1, Layer2}

which raised a syntax error

Layers = {'Layer0', 'Layer1', 'Layer2'}

which raised another syntax error

(Layers is the Dictionary I’m trying to create that will have all the previously made dictionaries within it)

All the other examples I found on SO have been related to creating dictionaries within dictionaries in order to fill them (or filling them simultaneously) and since I already coded a large number of lines to make these dictionaries, I’d rather put them into a dictionary after the fact instead of re-writing code.

It would be best if the order of the dictionaries are preserved when put into Layers

Does anyone know if this is possible and how I should do it?

Answer 1

Dictionary items have both a key and a value.

Layers = {'Layer0': Layer0, 'Layer1': Layer1, 'Layer2': Layer2}
