[BangPypers] plist files

[Python User]

Hi All

Again I am struck with an Issue if the plist file has multiple dictionary in
it then I am not able to get the value of particular key element for
example, In the below plist file I wanted to get the value of stepID &
COMPONENTNAME
key.

I was trying like this

for key in plist:
    if 'results' in key:
        stepIDValue = key['results']['Steps']['stepID']

I am getting error "string indices must be integers, not str". Please help
me out
