Now add a "levels" key. It should be a list with the values 1, 2, 3, and 4 in it. Not sure how to perform this task.

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

dicts.py 
player = {'name': 'Kevin', 'remaining_lives': 3, 'levels': ([1,2,3,4]), 'item': {'superp': 'man'}

The "levels" part of the task is OK.

But you added a key named item when the challenge asked for items (plural). Also, it looks like you are missing the final close bracket ("}") on the outer dictionary.

Also, the parentheses enclosing the levels list are not necessary.

Steven, you beat me again...

Kevin,

Try to add the new key: value pairs outside of naming the 'player' variable. I'm not sure this is a requirment of the challenge, but seeing as the first part is only wanting you to declare 'player' with two key: value pairs and the second part of the challenge is wanting you to add levels and items.
