Let's say We have the below dictionary:
DictionaryA = {'No Rating': ['Hobbit', 'Movie C', 'Movie G'],
'Forget It': ['Avenger', 'Movie B'],
'Must See': ['Children of Men', 'Skyfall', 'Movie F'],
'3': ['X-Men', 'Movie D'],
'2': ['Captain America', 'Movie E'],
'4': ['Transformers', 'Movie A']}
I want to create new dictionaries as below:
NewDictionary1 = {'No Rating': ['Hobbit', 'Movie C', 'Movie G']}
NewDictionary2 = {'Forget It': ['Avenger', 'Movie B']}
NewDictionary3 = {'Must See': ['Children of Men', 'Skyfall', 'Movie F']}
a oneliner:
dics = [{k:v} for k,v in DictionaryA.iteritems()]
would be outputted to:
[{'Must See': ['Children of Men', 'Skyfall', 'Movie F']}, {'Forget It': ['Avenger', 'Movie B']}, {'No Rating': ['Hobbit', 'Movie C', 'Movie G']}, {'3': ['X-Men', 'Movie D']}, {'2': ['Captain America', 'Movie E']}, {'4': ['Transformers', 'Movie A']}]
But to precisely declaring variables we could go with:
>>> i=0
>>> lcl = locals()
>>> for key,val in DictionaryA.iteritems():
lcl["Dict" + str(i)] = {key:val}
i += 1
As can be seen the first 3 Dict variables:
>>> Dict0
{'Must See': ['Children of Men', 'Skyfall', 'Movie F']}
>>> Dict1
{'Forget It': ['Avenger', 'Movie B']}
>>> Dict2
{'No Rating': ['Hobbit', 'Movie C', 'Movie G']}
As mentioned by others, if you want to put it in a function you should add it to the globals():
>>> glb = globals()
>>> for key,val in DictionaryA.iteritems():
glb["Dict" + str(i)] = {key:val}
i += 1
