Easy. Tabs everywhere:

some_dict = {
	'Jane':{'Age':'21', 'Dept':'0001', 'Ext':'1234'},
	'John':{'Age':'22', 'Dept':'0010', 'Ext':'5678'},
	'Jeff':{'Age':'23', 'Dept':'0100', 'Ext':'9009'},
	'Jody':{'Age':'24', 'Dept':'1000', 'Ext':'8765'},
	'Jeny':{'Age':'25', 'Dept':'0110', 'Ext':'4321'}
	}

Beautiful!!!!
