Python • Re: list/dict error - not understanding

This

mydata = ['AirTemp', ' 71.73']

is a list

First item in the list, mydata[0] = 'AirTemp'
Second item in the list, mydata [1] = '71.73'

This is a dictionary:
mydata = { 'AirTemp': '71.73'}

mydata['AirTemp'] = '71.73'

There is no mydata['71.73']

Yes, I recall getting confused on this page. Once I opened up the link, I recognized it.

So [] is a list while {} is a dict? Correct?

Then why would there be a check for a dict in these lines of code:

Code:

if parts[0] == FIRST_LABEL:results = {}results[parts[0]] = parts[1]

if parts[0] equals HOT_FLUID_TEMP (which is correct) then results{} (It's telling the program that results is now a dict?) but then says to keep [1] which is the numeric value....Am I understanding that at that point, I have a dict of 4 numbers?

mydata = ['some name', 'some value']

results[mydata[0]] = mydata[1]

results["some name"] = "some value"

{  "some value" : "some data"}
