You can put any python objects into a python dictionary, even the
dictionary itself...

For example :

aList=[1,2,3,4]
anotherList=[4,5,6,7]

aDictionary={}

aDictionary['foo']=[aList,anotherList]

Then...

aDictionary['foo'][0] answers aList

aDictionary['foo'][1] answers anotherList

Is it possible to put lists in dictionaries? And is it also possible
to put multiple lists in a dictionary for one key?

Thanks,
