Nested groups with duplicate keys trivially do not work

Input file demo.vdf:
"controller_mappings"
{
"group"
{
"id" "0"
}
"group"
{
"id" "1"
}
}
Test script:
import PyVDF
with open("demo.vdf") as fp:
v = PyVDF.PyVDF(data=fp.read())
print(type(v))
print(type(v['controller_mappings']))
print(v.toString())
Expected output:
(demo.vdf)
Actual output:
<class 'PyVDF.PyVDF'>
<class 'dict'>
"controller_mappings"
{
"group"
{
"id" "1"
}
}
Not only is this incorrect, but no error is thrown: the resulting data structure is silently malformed and passed along.

Thanks for leaving a bug report. I won't have bandwidth to work on this for the foreseeable future. If you wish to submit a PR, I'd gladly review it.
If you need this to work now, I'd recommend you make use of a more recently maintained library, like https://github.com/ValvePython/vdf
Thanks!
