How to add items to a dictionary without overwriting the previous item

Question

Greetings!!

With the code below, when instantiating an employee and then start the registration of hours worked informing the month and number of hours, inserting January:

func01 = Funcio('Joao','[email protected]') ==> ok

func01.horas_worked('January',270) ==> ok

result: dict_items([('January', {'hours': 270})])

When will I insert February:

function 01.hours_worked('February',220)

result: dict_items([('February', {'hours': 220})])

When I try to print the dictionary:

func01.imprime_meses()

result: February {'hours': 220}

That is, I understand that all months that are inserted will be recorded over the previous month. How do I record from January to December as 12 items from this dictionary?

working class:

def __init__(self, nome, email):
    self.nome = nome
    self.email = email
    
def horas_trabalhadas(self, mes , horas):
    self.mes = mes
    self.horas = horas
    self.cadastro_mes = {}
    self.cadastro_temp = {'horas' : self.horas}
    self.cadastro_mes[self.mes] = self.cadastro_temp
    print(self.cadastro_mes.items())
    
def imprime_meses(self):
    for key, value in self.cadastro_mes.items():
        print(key, value)

Answer 1

Among other errors, you are resetting self.cadastro_mes as empty at each call of the horas_worked() method. The line

self.cadastro_mes = {}

should be moved to __init__(), that creates the class and runs only once.
