I have a list of dictionaries called lod. All dictionaries have the same keys but different values. I am trying to update one specific value in the list of values for the same key in all the dictionaries.
I am attempting to do it with the following for loop:
for i in range(len(lod)):
a=lod[i][key][:]
a[p]=a[p]+lov[i]
lod[i][key]=a
What's happening is each is each dictionary is getting updated len(lod) times so lod[0][key][p] is supposed to have lov[0] added to it but instead it is getting lov[0]+lov[1]+.... added to it.
What am I doing wrong?
Here is how I declared the list of dicts:
lod = [{} for _ in range(len(dataul))]
for j in range(len(dataul)):
for i in datakl:
rrdict[str.split(i,',')[0]]=list(str.split(i,',')[1:len(str.split(i,','))])
lod[j]=rrdict

The problem is in how you created the list of dictionaries. You probably did something like this:
list_of_dicts = [{}] * 20
That's actually the same dict 20 times. Try doing something like this:
list_of_dicts = [{} for _ in range(20)]
Without seeing how you actually created it, this is only an example solution to an example problem.
To know for sure, print this:
[id(x) for x in list_of_dicts]
If you defined it in the * 20 method, the id is the same for each dict. In the list comprehension method, the id is unique.
