You defined mydict['name'] as a tuple, and tuples are immutable. Using a
tuple means that you don't ever want the values to change.

This has nothing to do with dictionaries. If you want to add, delete, or
change items, use a list (or a set if there aren't supposed to be any
duplicates). Information on built-in types is here:

http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html (2.7)
