This means that some (same or other) program created h, "pickled" it and 
most likely wrote it to a file. So that program is failing in some way 
to create the correct keys for the dictionaries that comprise the values 
of h.

Again note you are not trying to create anything.  newi=h[key]['NEWI'] 
is attempting to reference an existing key, and the key does not exist.

Of course you are. Going into a totally new realm with just C under your 
belt. If you'd like, give me a call. We might be able to cover more 
ground faster on the phone.
