Any object that implements a ` __getitem__ ` method can be used with that
subscript notation: | |

Again, to store multiple values in a key, simply use a container type—a list,
dictionary, or tuple—as the value. In the above example, the keys `
"some_list" ` and ` "another_dict" ` hold lists and dictionaries,
respectively. This way, you can create nested structures of any depth needed. | |
