Converting data in CSV and TXT to dictionary

[bowlofred]

Line 4 takes the information on one line of the file and attempts to read it as two pieces of data (a "key" and a "value"). Depending on the format of the file, this might have to be changed to gather the correct information.

Line 5 is one way of populating a dict. It sets the entry for "key" to be "value". You can print out the dictionary afterward and see the information.

>>> dictionary = {}
>>> dictionary["key"] = "value"
>>> dictionary["A"] = 5
>>> print(dictionary)
{'key': 'value', 'A': 5}
