My python program is adding data to a key that is not being accessed. I am accessing a key called "one_week" who's value is a dictionary. However when modifying the data in "one_week", the data in another key in the same dictionary as "one_week" is also being modified.
I have this data:

From my understanding, the "one_day" key should not be modified after its first modification under the statement if i == 0:. However, it is being modified under the statement if i < 5:.
CodePudding user response：
No, you do NOT want "the same object" to be assigned to all four keys. That is the cause of your problem. When you modify one_week, you are modifying that one object (INCLUDING the one referenced in the original performance dict), and the change will be seen in all of the keys.
Since you created empty dictionaries for those keys, the easy solution is to use "update" to update the separate empty dictionary ojbects:
if i == 0:
average_performance['one_day'].update(performance.get(str_today))
average_performance['one_week'].update(performance.get(str_today))
average_performance['two_week'].update(performance.get(str_today))
average_performance['one_month'].update(performance.get(str_today))
print(average_performance)
