Unexpected output when adding dict to list
I wrote a small API in Python 2.7 that pulls data from Google Analytics and sends it to my own site.
This is the entrance
{'country': '(not set)', 'visits': '1'}
{'country': 'Belgium', 'visits': '9'}
{'country': 'Brazil', 'visits': '2'}
{'country': 'Germany', 'visits': '2'}
{'country': 'Mexico', 'visits': '2'}
{'country': 'Netherlands', 'visits': '38'}
{'country': 'Philippines', 'visits': '1'}
{'country': 'Portugal', 'visits': '1'}
{'country': 'Spain', 'visits': '1'}
{'country': 'Thailand', 'visits': '1'}
{'country': 'United Kingdom', 'visits': '1'}
{'country': 'United States', 'visits': '1'}
When I add this to the list with the following code:
new_dict = {}
new_list = []
for row in query:
for count, attribute in enumerate(list_of_dim_met):
new_dict.update({
attribute.replace('ga:',''): row[count].encode('ascii','ignore')
})
new_list.append(new_dict)
print new_list
it only repeats the last line with the combined states 12 times. I've tried everything, but I'm going crazy. Does anyone understand the key?
Sincerely.

Because the code uses the same dictionary in a loop and updates the dictinoary and adds the same dictionary to the list.
Make a new dictionary in a loop instead of using the same dictionary.
new_list = []
for row in query:
for count, attribute in enumerate(list_of_dim_met):
new_dict = {
attribute.replace('ga:',''): row[count].encode('ascii','ignore')
}
new_list.append(new_dict)
