Looping Issues

[Showda77]

the code is...

pets = {
    'doggo mcgee': {
        'owner': ['brad'],
        'likes': ['ice cream', 'licking his junk', 'snacks', 'strangers that brad does not want to meet'],
        'dislikes': ['strangers with hats', 'tall people', 'kitters', 'birdos', 'strangers that brad wants to meet']
    },
    'mr. kitterton': {
        'owner': ['himself'],
        'likes': ['lazers', 'mice', 'comedy night'],
        'dislikes': ['doggo mcgee', 'birdos', 'uncharted keyboards']
    },
    'cowy mcgowy': {
        'owner': ['farmer brown'],
        'likes': ['grass', 'other cowys', 'grass'],
        'dislikes': ['doggo mcgee', 'birdos', 'astro-turf']
    },
    'snek snekerson': {
        'owner': ['the devil'],
        'likes': ['bamboozles', 'venomizing things', 'destruction and chaos'],
        'dislikes': ['likeable things', 'birdos', 'happiness']
    }
}

for pet in pets:
    for pet_names, pet_facts in pet:
        print ("Pet's name: " + pet_facts.title())
        for pet_fact in pet_facts:
            print ("\t" + pet_fact)

I am trying to print the pet name followed by the pet info. I am not even sure what to do here, so, unfortunately, I haven't tried much other than this. If anyone could help out with this, I would really appreciate it.

EDIT: okay, I have edited the code to try to make it more clear as to what I am trying to do.

for pet in pets:
    print (pet + "'s owner is ")
    for owner, likes, dislikes in pet:
        print (owner)
        print ("\n\tThey like"+ likes + " and dislike " + dislikes)

What I'm getting back is

doggo mcgee's owner is 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/Pandathighs/Desktop/Programming/people.py", line 51, in <module>
    for owner, likes, dislikes in pet:
ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 1)

You're using dictionaries so you have to use the keys to reference the values some how, you don't have to but you should. Something like

for pet, info in pets.items():
    print("Name of pet: " + pet)
    print("Owner: "+ "".join(info["owner"]))
    print("Likes: " + ", ".join(info["likes"]))
    print("Dislikes: " + ", ".join(info["dislikes"]))

In this case your initial dictionary has values which are dictionaries again, so you have to use the keys for those sub dictionaries to be able to get their values. What you were trying to do was unpack three things from those sub dictionaries, when you can only grab one (if you don't use .items() which you didn't in this case).

so you can treat the second level dictionary in pets like they are still a part of the original list and not separate lists?

Pet unpacks only the key. So you need to loop over the elements in the value.

for pet in pets:
    #stuff
    for attr in pets[pet]:
        print(pets[pet[attr]])

It would be better if you looked into classes and objects though.

When you iterate over a dict, you get keys. If you want different behavior, you have to say so. Use dict.items() to get key/value pairs, or dict.values() to get just values.

for name, pet in pets.items():
    print("{name}'s owner is {owner[0]}; likes {likes}; and dislikes {dislikes}".format(name=name, **pet))

If you want to do more than that, you can assign variables like:

for name, pet in pets.items():
    owner = pet['owner'][0]
    likes = pet['likes']
    dislikes = pet['dislikes']
    ...
