hi
I wish to pop/del some items out of dictionary while iterating over it.
a = { 'a':1, 'b':2 }
for k, v in a.iteritems():
if v==2:
del a[k]
the output say RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration
how can i suppress this message in an actual script and still get the
final value of the dict?
is it something like try/except/else statment?
try:
for v,k in a.iteritems():
if v==something:
del a[k]
except RuntimeError:
< don't know what to do here>
else:
< should i include this part ? >
what other ways can i do this ? thanks for any help. 5 8788 s9************@ yahoo.com wrote: hi I wish to pop/del some items out of dictionary while iterating over it. a = { 'a':1, 'b':2 } for k, v in a.iteritems(): if v==2: del a[k]

If you expect to delete only a few items: a = dict(a=1, b=2, c=3, d=2) delenda = [k for k, v in a.iteritems() if v == 2] for k in delenda:
.... del a[k]
.... a
{'a': 1, 'c': 3}
If you expect to delete most items:
a = dict(a=1, b=2, c=3, d=2) a = dict((k, v) for k, v in a.iteritems() if v != 2) a
{'a': 1, 'c': 3}
or (if rebinding a is not an option)
a = dict(a=1, b=2, c=3, d=2) for k, v in a.items():
.... if v == 2:
.... del a[k]
.... a
{'a': 1, 'c': 3}

Iterate over a copy.
a_orig = { 'a': 1, 'b': 2 }
a = dict(a_orig)
for k, v in a_orig.iteritem s():
if v == 2:
del a[k]

Or iterate over just a copy of the keys:
for k in a_orig.keys():
if a_orig[k] == 2:
del a_orig[k]

[s9************@ yahoo.com] I wish to pop/del some items out of dictionary while iterating over it.
a = { 'a':1, 'b':2 } for k, v in a.iteritems(): if v==2: del a[k]
A simple change would be using "items()" instead of "iteritems( )".
Or else, you may prefer to loop over keys, and retrieve values, either:
for k in a.keys():
if a[k] == 2:
del a[k]
or:
for k in set(a):
if a[k] == 2:
del a[k]
But in no way, you may directly iterate over the original dictionary
while altering its keys, this is explicitly forbidden in Python.

Hi all,
I'm trying to get some ideas on the best way to do this.
In this particular coding snippet, I was thinking of creating a
dictionary of file objects and file names. These would be optional
files that I could open and parse. At the end, I would easily close off
the files by iterating through the dictionary.
---< CODE FOLLOWS >---
optionalfiles = {fileAreaCode: "areacode.11", fileBuild: "build.11"}

I need the ability to parse through the values of a Dictionary and
remove certain ones depending on their attribute values. In the example
below, an InvalidOperationException is thrown in the foreach statement
when the first item is removed from the Dictionary.
From looking at Dictionary's methods, I couldn't find anything to
create a copy of the Values before starting the foreach loop. Help?

Hi all,
I'm trying to do something that should be really easy, but I can't think of an
obvious way to do it. I have a dictionary whose value is a "value type" (as
opposed to a reference type -- in this case, a Boolean):
Dim dic As New Dictionary(Of Int32, Boolean)
dic(123) = True
I want to set all of the existing entries in the dictionary to False. The

Hi,
Wouldn't it be nicer to have 'in' return values (or keys) for both
arrays and dictionaries. Arrays and Dictionaries looked so similar in
Python until I learned this difference.
