Grab string values from dict and make new list

I have a dict that contains site location names and key codes i'm trying to pull the site location names (which are values) out of the dict and make a simple list.

I have this code which prints exactly what i want:

for s in mydict['mykey']:
    print(s['site'])

site1
site2
site3
site4

but when i try to do something like this:

for s in mydict['mykey']:
     mylist = list(s['site'])

or

for s in mydict['mykey']:
     mylist2 = (s['site'])

i only get the last value:

mylist
['s', 'i', 't', 'e', '4']

mylist2
'site4'

Basically just looking to have the sites in a list, one per line

Use a list comprehension:

mylist = [s['site'] for s in mydict['mykey']]

This is the equivalent of:

mylist = []
for s in mydict['mykey']:
    mylist.append(s['site'])
