In some languages like JAVA you define an array using curly braces as following but in python it has a different meaning:

Java:

int[] myIntArray = {1,2,3};
String[] myStringArray = {"a","b","c"};

However, in Python, curly braces are used to define dictionaries, which needs a key:value assignment as {'a':1, 'b':2}

To actually define an array (which is actually called list in python) you can do:

Python:

mylist = [1,2,3]

or other examples like:

mylist = list()
mylist.append(1)
mylist.append(2)
mylist.append(3)
print(mylist)
>>> [1,2,3]
