It usually means that you have a self-referencing data structure, and so
repr is being kind enough not to recursively display it forever:

>>> l = [1, 2]
>>> l.append(l)
>>> l
[1, 2, [...]]

You haven't given any indication of how d was created, so it's not
really possible to help further than that.
