It breaks out of the loop when you enter an empty line. Good luck dictionary={} while True: stuff=input("enter a string & integer") if stuff=='': break else: string=stuff.partition(' ')[0] num=stuff.partition(' ')[2] dictionary.update({string:int(num)}) continue print(dictionary)

Short time ago i have produced this: The user can input a key (color name) and the 3 rgb values in a loop. you can input as many color / value pairs as you like. when you input x input loop breaks. [Edit]: dict can be saved to a file in jason format if needed. dic = {} while True: #dic.update({input('color: '):int(input('value: '))}) # 1 value dic.update({input('color: '):list(map(int, input('3 values:').split(',')))}) # 3 values separated with comma inp = input('x -> break, <RETURN> -> continue ') if inp.upper() == 'X': break print(dic) print(dic) ''' output: color: red 3 values:255,0,0 x -> break, <RETURN> -> continue {'red': [255, 0, 0]} color: green 3 values:0,255,0 x -> break, <RETURN> -> continue {'red': [255, 0, 0], 'green': [0, 255, 0]} color: blue 3 values:0,0,255 x -> break, <RETURN> -> continue x {'red': [255, 0, 0], 'green': [0, 255, 0], 'blue': [0, 0, 255]} '''

Common way to do it is to provide dict in JSON format and parse it using json library. Like this: import json s = '{"name":"value"}' my_dict = json.loads(s) print my_dict Of course you can replace s with other things like raw_input() or what ever function you use that returns string.

you can use the below method to input user data in dictionary student = {} student.update({'car' : 'Toyota'}) print(student) while True: x = input() y = input() if x and y != '/': student.update({x : y}) else: break print(student)
