If it was only one dictionary inside the list data, could I do this way? I mean, I need the "for in" bacause there is more than 1 dictionary or bacause the dictionary is inside of the list?
data = { "email": "we@afi.co", "name": "Warren Bates", "date_joined": "4/20/2048", "admin": "False", "id": "36" }
data['email'] = 'we@afi.co'
del(data['name'])
data['first_name'] = 'Warren Bates'.split(" ")[0]
data['last_name'] = 'Warren Bates'.split(" ")[1]
data['date_joined'] = '4/20/2048'
if data["admin"] == 'False': data["admin"] = False else: data['admin'] = True
data["id"] = int(36)
print(data)
