Hi,

Is there an easier way to do this, I am adding/creating to an array inside a
dict but can find a cleaner way:

So I first check if the key exists already, if it does then I know I use append,
if it does not I create it.

         if osmdict.has_key(token):
             osmdict[token]['user'].append(user)
             osmdict[token]['reason'].append(reason)
         else:
             osmdict[token] = { 'user' : [user], 'reason' : [reason]}
