title: How to copy and manipulate dictionary?
body: <p>I'm trying to manipulate a dictionary for a couple of textures that I'm working on. I'm able to generate this using a script that I made.</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
     "texture": {
        "asset": "monster", 
        "element": "damaged", 
        "job": "test", 
        "maps": {
           "files": [
              {
                 "file": "monster/damaged/hi/bump/bump.1001.tif", 
                 "md5sum": "5ff5779466612a3ec447c4d0ddc99e48"
              }, 
              {
                 "file": "monster/damaged/hi/matte/matteSleeve.1002.tif", 
                 "md5sum": "f383ceb943671d1bf6ac8dcfbe640fa1"
              }
           ], 
           "version": "1"
        }, 
        "resolution": "hi", 
        "when": "11:20PM"
     }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I want to do next is to copy the <code>files</code> and <code>version</code> and create a version 2 of those.</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
     "texture": {
        "asset": "monster", 
        "element": "damaged", 
        "job": "test", 
        "maps": [
            {
               "files": [
                  {
                     "file": "monster/damaged/hi/bump/bump.1001.tif", 
                     "md5sum": "5ff5779466612a3ec447c4d0ddc99e48"
                  }, 
                  {
                     "file": "monster/damaged/hi/matte/matteSleeve.1002.tif", 
                     "md5sum": "f383ceb943671d1bf6ac8dcfbe640fa1"
                  }
               ], 
               "version": "1"
            },
            {
               "files": [
                  {
                     "file": "monster/damaged/hi/bump/bump.1001.tif", 
                     "md5sum": "5ff5779466612a3ec447c4d0ddc99e48"
                  }, 
                  {
                     "file": "monster/damaged/hi/matte/matteSleeve.1002.tif", 
                     "md5sum": "sfh4eb94367145fd6ac8dcfbe640fa1"
                  }
               ], 
               "version": "2"
            }
        ],
        "resolution": "hi", 
        "when": "11:20PM"
     }
  }

  <p>How do copy or duplicate this using Python? If you could point some documentation for this, that would be great as well.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
