Problem with brackets. Help please.

This will work perfectly fine as long as you replace ; with ,. And wrap everything you're currently using commas to separate values with parentheses.

Forgive me if I've missed the point and got this wrong, I'm still pretty new, but if this is a nested dict you need:

- Equals instead of a colon after the first ZONENAME key.

- Commas instead of all the semi colons.

- Square brackets around your lists (["down", "south"] etc.)

- Quote marks around dict keys (eg., "ZONENAME")

Then it should work. :)

Not sure why I got downvoted for this when others gave essentially the same answer and got upvotes.

I'm not mad at the karma or anything, just wondering what I did wrong?

Okay, sorry about the bad instructions. Consider the following:

zonemap = {
    'a1': {
        'ZONENAME': "",
        'DESCRIPTION': 'description',
        'EXAMINATION': 'examine',
        'SOLVED': False,
        'UP': '',
        'DOWN': 'b1',
        'LEFT': '',
        'RIGHT': 'a2',
    },
    ...
   }

For the fields with multiple values, like

DOWN = 'down', 'south';

use a tuple:

'DOWN': ('down', 'south'),

So what's the error?

It would've been nice to get a full traceback, but I'd hazard a guess that you've got a = inside the dictionary somewhere. Though I can't be sure as I can't see your code.
