ugly donor database.py

# this is the file for donorletters code

d = {"mary": 50, "josh": 50, "cassie": 34}

print d
d["mary"] = 100
print d

# ok, this method overwrites the existing donation amt. how can I add an amt?

d["mary"] = (d["mary"], 50)
print d
print d.keys()
print d["mary"]
print d["mary"][0]
print d["mary"][1]

# now I can add an amt & create a tuple that I can then call via place number.
# let's make this a function

    return dict

addamt("mary", d, 45)
addamt("OC", d, 1000)

print d
