Key Management - Second Challenge...

I am having some trouble with this exercise:

OK, one more step. Now add a "levels" key. It should be a list with the values 1, 2, 3, and 4 in it. And, lastly, add an "items" key. This key's value should be another dictionary. Give it at least one key and value, but they can be anything you want.

Below is the code that I've tried to put input - I would appreciate any assistance that someone could provide - Thank you...

dicts.py 
player = {"name": "Melanie Iglesias", "remaining_lives": 3, "levels": [1,2,3,4]}
player2 = {"items": "backpack"}

The items key needs to be part of the player value. Also, the items key should have a value of a dictionary. It is currently set to a string of "backpack".

I tried adding on to player, but I keep getting the "Task 1 is no longer passing" message:

player = {"name": "Melanie Iglesias", "remaining_lives": 3, "items": {"backpack": "laptop"}

You are missing a closing } Also, don't forget to include "levels": [1,2,3,4]

this passes the challenge also:
player = {"name": "Kenneth", "remaining_lives": 3, "levels": [1,2,3,4], "items": dict([["newkey", "newvalue"]])}
