You are missing the 2nd item from the first pair. "Value" You also need to watch your syntax. It should be something like Dictionary = {"a":"b" , "c":"d"} Hope this helps

Are you trying to create an empty string for name? If so you need two single quotes not a double quote. Also need python in quotes since its a string. Follow Rodney's syntax above.
