Filter dict to contain only certain keys?

Question

I\'ve got a dict that has a whole bunch of entries. I\'m only interested in a select few of them. Is there an easy way to prune all the other ones out?

Answer 1

Short form:

[s.pop(k) for k in list(s.keys()) if k not in keep]

As most of the answers suggest in order to maintain the conciseness we have to create a duplicate object be it a list or dict. This one creates a throw-away list but deletes the keys in original dict.
