Thank you for posting code. In the future do so initially. It helps us 
know where to help.

It looks like you learned from version 1.

When you get a syntax error check the manual. When you look at del in:
Python v2.6.4 documentation - The Python Standard Library - 6.8 Mapping 
Type - dict
you will see d[key] - compare that to what you wrote in version 2.
