How to add a dictionary to the list?

Question

When adding a dictionary to the test list with

 test.append('{"name": "' + name+ '", "number":"' + number + '}')

it turns out that a string is added, not a dictionary.

Because you are adding a string, not a dictionary.

 test.append({'name': name, 'number': number})

You must first create a dictionary and then add it to the list using .append() .

 a = [] b = { 'c': 1, 'd': 2 } a.append(b)

Thus, several dictionaries can be added to one list.
