Dictionary Evaluation Object Property

After the dictionary entries have been evaluated and stored in the "Values" stack, LW Python creates a new Python dictionary object with the stack values and appends this dictionary to the end of the "Object Store." More formally,

For example, if the following are true:

• (expression state at time 25) = "call_function_begin"
• (value stack at time 25) = [ [ entry "MX":"Mexico", [ entry "ES":"Spain", [ ] ] ], [ ] ]
• (the expression at time 25) = {"ES": "Spain", "MX": "Mexico"}

then (Python Object Store at time (25 + 1)) = (result of appending (dictionary with (reverse of [ entry "MX":"Mexico", [ entry "ES":"Spain", [ ] ] ])) to (Python Object Store at time 25))

Try stepping through the simulator to see the object get added to the "Object Store."
