title: Using sys.argv how to store keys and values to accumulate overtime?
body: <p>I am very happy to have found this website and I know the rules said to make sure I look up my question before asking here. I did but maybe I missed something. I found a project to work on using Python 2.7 and perhaps I'm not connecting the dots well. I want to build a dictionary (small database I suppose) so I wrote a script with an empty dictionary and command line arguments to add keys and values to the dictionary. Unfortunately it doesn't store the keys and values it only outputs the dictionary with the command line arguments at the time. I'm wondering how can I store the command line arguments into the dictionary? More specifically, every time I add keys and values as command line arguments they will accumulate overtime.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for taking the time to read this and in advance for your help!</p>
