Of course -- you ARE appending the same dict over ands over (AFAICT --
you're probably using tabs for indentation, making your code hard to
comprehend for those who read news with KDE's KNode [or MS's OE] as
tabs don't show there... use spaces, NOT tabs...).

Anyway, you probably need something like:

webdatabaselist.append(dict.copy())
dict = {}

either might suffice, but generally you'll need to copy the
current dict AND make dict empty for the next leg of the loop,
if I get the general drift.  If you do rebind name dict to {} for
the next leg, then you don't need the call to the copy method.
