[Tutor] Update values stored as a list in a dictionary with values from another dictionary

[GTXY20]

I adjusted so that I get the following so if I do not need to translate a
dictionary I do not call the function transFn:

def transFn(translatefile):
    transfile = open(translatefile, 'r')
    records = transfile.read()
    transfile.close()
    lines = records.split()
    transDict = {}
    for line in lines:
        key, value = line.split(',')
        transDict[key] = value

    for key, value in Data.items():
      Data[key] = [ transDict.get(i, i) for i in value ]

At this point can anyone recommend any python modules that helps to create
reporting and graphing?
