It's expecting a KEY and VALUE separated by COLON, hence length of 2
The solution to this is just to pass in key value pair NOT a string, tuple, list, etc.
Ex:


for key, value in orig_dict.items():
new_dict.update({key:value})


or


x = {key:value}


new_dict.update(x)


or


new_dict.update({key:value})
