[
{
"machine_working": true
},
{
"MachineName": "TBL165-169",
"MachineType": "Rig Test"
}
]
However, i can seam to do it, this is the code i have currently but its giving me error
this_is_a_dict_too=[]
this_is_a_dict_too = dict(State="on",dict(MachineType="machinetype1",MachineName="MachineType2"))
File "c:\printjson.py", line 40
this_is_a_dict_too = dict(Statedsf="test",dict(MachineType="Rig Test",MachineName="TBL165-169")) SyntaxError: non-keyword arg after
keyword arg

Answer 1

this_is_a_dict_too = [dict(machine_working=True),dict(MachineType="machinetype1",MachineName="MachineType2")]
print(this_is_a_dict_too)

Answer 2

You are trying to make dictionary in dictionary, the error message say that you try to add element without name (corresponding key)
dict(a='b', b=dict(state='on'))
will work, but
dict(a='b', dict(state='on'))
won't.
The thing that you presented is list, so you can use
list((dict(a='b'), dict(b='a')))
Note that example above use two dictionaries packed into tuple.
or
[ dict(a='b'), dict(b='a') ]
