6,587 PointsDo you mean unpacking dictionaries held in a list such as in the challenge? If so, just iterate over the list:
In the for loop 'key' acts as the variable name holding the dictionary, which changes every loop. So, if a key-name in the dictionary matches the key-name in the string the value will be filled in.
def anything(list_of_dicts, astring):
new_list = []
for key in list_of_dicts:
new_list.append(astring.format(**key))
return new_list
