Merge two dictionaries and keep the values for duplicate keys in Python

Question

Let\'s suppose that I have two dictionaries:

dic1 =  { \"first\":1, \"second\":4, \"third\":8} 
dic2 =  { \"first\":9, \"second\":5, \"fourth\":3}

Answer 1

Using set and dictionary comprehension

L = [d1, d2]
dups = set(d1.keys() & d2.keys())
d = {k: [L[0][k], L[1][k]] if k in dups else i[k] for i in L for k in i}

{'first': [1, 9], 'second': [4, 5], 'third': 8, 'fourth': 3}
