From you code example it is not clear what you are trying to do. Of course Mathematica is not Python, so writing (what I suspect is) Python code in Mathematica will just lead to tears. What is dictionary

If you are using Mathematica version 10, you might want to look up the documentation for Association
as that might get you started on the road to what I think you are wanting:
