Getting a list of values from a list of dicts

Question

I have a list of dicts like this:

[{\'value\': \'apple\', \'blah\': 2}, 
 {\'value\': \'banana\', \'blah\': 3} , 
 {\'value\': \'cars\', \'blah\': 4}]


        

Answer 1

Follow the example --

songs = [
{"title": "happy birthday", "playcount": 4},
{"title": "AC/DC", "playcount": 2},
{"title": "Billie Jean", "playcount": 6},
{"title": "Human Touch", "playcount": 3}
]

print("===========================")
print(f'Songs --> {songs} \n')
title = list(map(lambda x : x['title'], songs))
print(f'Print Title --> {title}')

playcount = list(map(lambda x : x['playcount'], songs))
print(f'Print Playcount --> {playcount}')
print (f'Print Sorted playcount --> {sorted(playcount)}')

# Aliter -
print(sorted(list(map(lambda x: x['playcount'],songs))))

Answer 2

Assuming every dict has a value key, you can write (assuming your list is named l)

[d['value'] for d in l]

If value might be missing, you can use

[d['value'] for d in l if 'value' in d]

Get key values from list of dictionaries in python?

1. Get key values from list of dictionaries in python?

Ex:

data = 
[{'obj1':[{'cpu_percentage':'15%','ram':3,'memory_percentage':'66%'}]},
{'obj2': [{'cpu_percentage':'0','ram':4,'memory_percentage':'35%'}]}]

for d in data:

  for key,value in d.items(): 

      z ={key: {'cpu_percentage': d['cpu_percentage'],'memory_percentage': d['memory_percentage']} for d in value} 
      print(z)

Output:

{'obj1': {'cpu_percentage': '15%', 'memory_percentage': '66%'}}
{'obj2': {'cpu_percentage': '0', 'memory_percentage': '35%'}}
