I am working on a type of menu program using Python.  I have created a =
menu and want a user to be able to input names which would go into a =
dictionary.  I have created a dictionary and can't get the input to add =
another unit to the dictionary.  It will only take the last entered =
value.  If you have a hard time understanding this, here is a sample(not =
verbatum):

import blah

def menu1():
    getConstantValue1=3Draw_input("BLAHBLAH")
    getConstantValue2=3Draw_input("BLAHBLAH")
    GetAmount=3Dinput("BLAHBLAH")
    while GetAmount>0:
        getNameList=3Draw_input("BLAH")
        dictionary=3D{"A":getConstantValue1 "B":getConstantValue2,       =
                 "List":getNameList}  #THIS IS PART OF THE DICTIONARY =
NOT A NEW LINE!!
        GetAmount=3DGetAmount - 1
    print dictionary{}
print menu1()

Thanks,
Specs
