Need to refer to Value of a key of a dictionary nested within a dictionary - xepicxmonkeyx - Oct-01-2016
You can find my code at the link below, and you can ignore any commented sections of code (Accept the one in make_grid() ):
link removed, code added below

for k,v in list.items(): print(v['onScreen'])You also do not need to import future print on 2.7.10
and you should not overwrite "list" built-in

This worked like a charm, had it printing out randomly at the start (don't know why), but got it working in the end!

but if you are giving away (or selling) code for others to just run, it might still be needed for a system that has 2.6 :(

Thats why i specifically said 2.7.10.
2.6 is quite old.
And if you are giving away or selling code for others to run you should build an executable with it so that they dont even need python. Then you can attach whichever python interpreter your program needs with it.

I mentioned it printed out the dict randomly. For the printing of the grid that wasn't something I needed. But how do I make it do so when I do?
RE: Need to refer to Value of a key of a dictionary nested within a dictionary - Yoriz - Oct-02-2016
dict have no order(unless using ordered dict), so will be printed randomly, to print the values in an order the key will have to be used. A list will always print in the same order.
RE: Need to refer to Value of a key of a dictionary nested within a dictionary - metulburr - Oct-02-2016
You can use collections.OrderdDict to maintain the order

RE: Need to refer to Value of a key of a dictionary nested within a dictionary - wavic - Oct-02-2016
In version 3.6 dicts will be ordered

Oh my, that's some news!
Sorry for being ignorant and not up to date with news... do you have a source for this info?
