Python Dictionary Comprehension

Question

Is it possible to create a dictionary comprehension in Python (for the keys)?

Without list comprehensions, you can use something like this:

l = []
fo         


        

Answer 1

Consider this example of counting the occurrence of words in a list using dictionary comprehension

my_list = ['hello', 'hi', 'hello', 'today', 'morning', 'again', 'hello']
my_dict = {k:my_list.count(k) for k in my_list}
print(my_dict)

And the result is

{'again': 1, 'hi': 1, 'hello': 3, 'today': 1, 'morning': 1}
