Confused about looping through list of people in Python -

i'm having issues exercise asking me loop through list of people , print know each person while using dictionary each person. i'm trying start out getting python accept , loop through dictionaries, whenever try run code, error message stating: "value error: many values unpack. (expected 2)"

dictionaries_v = {      'first_name': 'victor',     'last_name': 'croc',     'age': 21,     'city': 'new york',     }  dictionaries_c = {      'first_name': 'charmy',     'last_name': 'bee',     'age': 8,     'city': 'new york',     }  dictionaries_e = {      'first_name': 'espio',     'last_name': 'armadilo',     'age': 15,     'city': 'new york',     }  people = ['dictionaries_v', 'dictionaries_c', 'dictionaries_e']  key, value in people:      print( "\n" + key + ": " + value) 

thank time.

your first problem list holding 3 strings. notice how wrapped quotes around it. when iterate on list, not getting dictionary expect.

secondly, people list. so, when iterate list, iterator hold dictionary through each iteration.

knowing this, need iterate on list, other list:

people = [dictionaries_v, dictionaries_c, dictionaries_e] d in people:     print(d) 

your output like:

{'last_name': 'croc', 'age': 21, 'first_name': 'victor', 'city': 'new york'} {'last_name': 'bee', 'age': 8, 'first_name': 'charmy', 'city': 'new york'} {'last_name': 'armadilo', 'age': 15, 'first_name': 'espio', 'city': 'new york'} 

to specific information dictionary, use key in each iteration. simple example:

for d in people:     print(d['last_name'])
