The keys here are strings, not numbers.  But that's a detail.  Somewhat 
more importantly, that's a syntax error (one of the colons should be a 
comma).

I would make all the values the same shape, i.e. all lists of tuples:

col = {"1": [(0,1,2,3)]: "2": [(0,1,2,3),(2,3,4,5)]}

Then you're always doing the same thing with values when you process 
them.
