User Input to Choose from Dictionary
#8
All your points taken into consideration. I'm unsure which direction to go in order to present the user a list of values. I started off with a list but was having trouble presenting the values. With a dictionary, it seems much simpler. I'm a beginner to programming so all the feedback you provided is much appreciated.

I updated my code with the following, per your advice:

databases = {
    1: {'name': 'TEST11C'},
    2: {'name': 'TEST12C'},
}

# Print databases listed in dictionary
print("Databases:")
for x, y in databases.items():
    print(x, ':', databases[x]['name'])

while True:
    print("\nSelect a database:")
    d_val = int(input())

    if d_val in databases.keys():
        d_val = int(d_val)
        print("\nYou have chosen {0}".format(databases[d_val]['name']))
    else:
        print('\nYou chosen wrong!')
