Yes, you are tring to assign to two variabels but levelDict is a single
object, a dictionary with a single element which is another
dictionary.  If, as I assume, nm and dt (very poor variable names,
especially when you are asking others to help you debug) refer to name
and data by which you mean key and value from the dictionary then
perhaps you really want this.

  for key, val in levelDict.items():
     ...
