title: Python: How to add a list to a named multidimensional arrays
body: <p>In PHP you can easily create and populate multidimensional arrays like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$points = array();
  $points["Landmarks"]["Latitude"] = $some_array_containing_lat_values;
  $points["Landmarks"]["Longitude"] = $some_array_containing_lon_values;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What's the pythonic way of doing this? </p>
  
  <p>I already tried lists, dictionaries and numpy arrays, but neither was working. Using unnamed (numbered) arrays is not an option, since they are created from external files with inconsistent structure and naming, so the data must be retrieved from the array by name, not by index.</p>
  
  <p>Sorry if this is a duplicate question, but I've been searching for an entire day to no avail and I'm desperately running out of time.</p>
