[Tutor] how do I create a lists of values associated with a key?

[Angela Yang]

Hi,



I have a list of values for one key.  How do I specify this data structure?



First tried,



collection = []

collection['abby'].append('apprentice1')

collection['abby'].append('apprentice2')



That did not work because list index is not numeric.

But for dictionaries, it is key - value pairs.  But I need key -> multiple values.



Do you have some example how to specify this?
