Hey i want to place a given name and number in this manner :

database = [["Gunman" , 1234],
                 ["Somethingelse" , 4321],
                 ["elsesomething" , 2341]]

Use a dictionary object.

(Toggle Plain Text)

d = {'Gunman':1234, 'Somethingelse':4321, 'Anothershitgoose':5432}

This should work:

(Toggle Plain Text)

# create a list like [[name1, number1], ...]

list1 = []
print "(just press enter at name to break loop)"
while True:
    name = raw_input("enter name: ")
    if not name: break
    num = raw_input("enter number: ")
    try:
        number = int(num)
    except ValueError:
        num = raw_input("has to be a number: ")
        number = int(num)
    tuple1 = name, number
    list1.append(list(tuple1))
    print list1  # testing
    
print "result =", list1
