That is not valid syntax. Do you mean you have a dictionary like this?:

{ Key : [{'item':value,'item2':value,'item3':value,'item4':value,'item5':value','item6':value,'item7':value,'item8':value,'item9':value}],
Key2 : [{'item':value,'item2':value,'item3':value,'item4':value,'item5':value','item6':value,'item7':value,'item8':value,'item9':value}],
Key3 : [{'item':value,'item2':value,'item3':value,'item4':value,'item5':value','item6':value,'item7':value,'item8':value,'item9':value}]
}

Cheers,
Chris
