how can I make it that the list updates itself?-CodePudding

In every "for" loop, two items (user and likes) are taken from the "Data" list and are added to a separate list (scoreboard). I am trying to detect if "user" already exists in the scoreboard list. If it does exist, then I try to take the item that comes after "user" in the scoreboard list (which would be the previous "likes" item) and add the new "likes" item to it, after that I try to set the new "likes" item to the new value. but i couldn't make it work.

   def likecount():
        scoreboard = []
        for t in range(0,len(Data),3):
            user = Data[t]
            likes = Data[t   2]
            if user not in scoreboard:
                scoreboard.append(user), scoreboard.append(likes)
            else:
                scoreboard[(scoreboard.index(user)   1)]   likes == scoreboard[(scoreboard.index(user)   1)]
                
                    
        for i in range(0,len(scoreboard),2):
            print (scoreboard[i],scoreboard[i 1], end= "\n")
