Merging list of dicts in python

Question

I have the dict in python in the following format:

dict1 = [{\'Name\':\'a\', \'value\':20},{\'Name\':\'b\', \'value\':10},{\'Name\':\'c\', \'value\':15}]
         


        

Answer 1

I think you can do it with for loop efficiently. Check this:

dict1 = [{'Name':'a', 'value':20},{'Name':'b', 'value':10},{'Name':'c', 'value':15}]
dict2 = dict()
for a in range(len(dict1)):
    dict2[dict1[a].get('Name')] = dict1[a].get('value')
print(dict2)

Output:

{'a': 20, 'b': 10, 'c': 15}

This is the easy way:

dict1 = [{'Name':'a', 'value':20},{'Name':'b', 'value':10},{'Name':'c', 'value':15}]
dict2={dc['Name']:dc['value'] for dc in dict1}
