[Tutor] adding dictionary value at position [-1]

[Rafael Durán Castañeda]

Resending to list, since I click reply instead of reply to list, I'm 
sorry Norman since you are receiving twice:

If you need an order item, use a list, so you can use a dictionary 
containing an ordered list of dictionaries. I think you want do somthing 
like this:

import json
addresses = {}
addresses['values'] = []
values = [1, 2, 3]

for index,value in enumerate(values):
     addresses['values'].append({index: value})

print(json.dumps(addresses))

Output will be:

{"values": [{"0": 1}, {"1": 2}, {"2": 3}]}
