how can i create a dictionary of dictionaries from a file

[Astone]

So i need to create this dictionary(dictionary of dictionaries):

my_dict={'1':{'surname':'Musk', 'name':'Elon', 'gender': 'm','growth':183},
'2':{'surname':'Holmes', 'name':'Enola', 'gender': 'f','growth':175},
'3':{'surname':'Brown', 'name':'Lilly', 'gender': 'f','growth':178},
'4':{'surname':'Lothbrok', 'name':'Ragnar', 'gender': 'm','growth':189},
'5':{'surname':'Smith', 'name':'Adreana', 'gender': 'f','growth':173},
'6':{'surname':'Moon', 'name':'Larry', 'gender': 'm','growth':184}}

I do not understand how I can do this reading and writing from a file to my_dict. And how should I write information in the file.
As a result, I need to find out how to write this information to a file and then how to write it to my_dict.

the easiest would be to read/write json file. But a csv file would do as well (i.e. using csv.DcitReader and csv.DictWriter.

What is your input data?
Json-Data looks like your example.

For example, this is csv:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

surname,name,gender,growth Musk,Elon,m,183 Holmes,Enola,f,175 Brown,Lilly,f,178 Lothbrok,Ragnar,m,189 Smith,Adreana,f,173 Moon,Larry,m,184

Example to open the csv file:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

import csv   rows = [] with open("your_file.csv", encoding="utf8", newline="") as fd:     for row in csv.DictReader(fd):         print(row)         rows.append(row) # adding the dict to rows

Keep in mind that everything from csv-reader is a str.
All decimals and integers are str objects. To use them for sorting or to make calculations with them,
you need to cast the str to int or float.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

import csv   rows = [] with open("your_file.csv", encoding="utf8", newline="") as fd:     for row in csv.DictReader(fd):         row["growth"] = int(row["growth"]) # str -> int         print(row)         rows.append(row) # adding the dict to rows

The other question is: From where are the student numbers (which are also str in your example)?
