Python: can I have a list with named indices?

Question

In PHP I can name my array indices so that I may have something like:

$shows = Array(0 => Array(\'id\' => 1, \'name\' => \'Sesame Street\'), 
               


        

Answer 1

Python has lists and dicts as 2 separate data structures. PHP mixes both into one. You should use dicts in this case.
