Accessing values from dictionaries nested in a list

First question here!
countries = [{'country': 'Italy', 'size':3,'reg':9},
{'country': 'Germany', 'size':7,'reg':1},
{'country': 'USA', 'size':9,'reg':4},
]
weights = {'size' : 100, 'reg' : 30}
I am trying to multiply values from the 'countries' nested dictionaries with the value associated with the matching key in the 'weights' dictionary. I tried a for loop approach as the values in 'weights' will be updated by the user.
I have tried this:
countries_weighted = copy.deepcopy(countries)
for key in weights.items():
for i in countries_weighted:
countries_weighted[i][key] *= weights[key]
That doesn't seem to work:
-
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-52-9753dabe7648> in <module>()
13 for key in weights.items():
14 for i in countries_weighted:
---> 15 countries_weighted[i][key] *= weights[key]
16
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not dict
Any idea? Thanks in advance.

for i in countries_weighted:will return the values incountries_weightedto your variablei, not the index. So in this caseigets an entire dictionary each time. So replacingcountries_weighted[i][key] *= weights[key]withi[key] *= weights[key]should work for you. But Esteban Quiros's code below is much cleaner

Only need to write countries_weighted[i][key] *= weights[key] as i[key] *= weights[key].

You could do it like this:
countries = [{'country': 'Italy', 'size':3,'reg':9},
{'country': 'Germany', 'size':7,'reg':1},
{'country': 'USA', 'size':9,'reg':4},
]
weights = {'size' : 100, 'reg' : 30}
for country in countries:
for key in weights.keys():
country[key] *= weights[key]
print(countries)
