I have a list of dictionary values, as given below:

{'ID 2': [{'game': 586, 'start': 1436882375, 'process': 13140}, {'game': 585, 'start': 1436882375, 'process': 13116}], 'ID 1': [{'game': 582, 'start': 1436882375, 'process': 13094}, {'game': 583, 'start': 1436882375, 'process': 12934}, {'game': 584, 'start': 1436882375, 'process': 12805}]}

It is barely readable. I want to format it this way:

'ID 2' : {'game': 586, 'start': 1436882375, 'process': 13140},
'ID 2' : {'game': 585, 'start': 1436882375, 'process': 13116},
'ID 1' : {'game': 582, 'start': 1436882375, 'process': 13094},
'ID 1' : {'game': 582, 'start': 1436882375, 'process': 13094},

My code for printing is given below:

 for key in queue_dict.items():
        for values in key.values():
            print(key+" : "+values)

The error is:

AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'values'

I cannot understand how to access each dictionary in the list value of each key. I searched a lot, but couldn't really find an answer. Can someone help?

dict.items returns a tuple of the key value pairs.

Return a new view of the dictionary’s items ((key, value) pairs)

You will have to do this instead. 

for key,values in queue_dict.items():
     for v in values:
          print(key," : ",v)

Also you can not concatenate an str object and a dict object using +. You will get a TypeError. So you will have to cast it to a str. Instead you can use format as in print("{} : {}".format(key,v))
