Not equal a dictionary key value

[bazcurtis]

I have the follow code that works fine

 if 'bad' == computer_dictionary['threats']:
            get_threats(computers_url, computer_dictionary['id'])

but I want to do

 if 'good' != computer_dictionary['threats']:
            get_threats(computers_url, computer_dictionary['id'])

I don't do not equal to. What have I done wrong here?

What is exactly wrong here?

Actually it does work. The issue turns out to be that in some cases the key value is blank. I need to check that threats has a value. I am getting a KeyError: 'threats'. I thought it was due to the !=. I will work on this. Thanks for the reply though. It made me look at it again.
