Combine two dictionaries into a list of 3-tuples

Hi all,

Continuing the search for interesting challenges with lists, tuples and
dictionaries I am looking for a way to do the following.

one = {
'a' : 1,
'b' : 2,
'c' : 3
}

two = {
'a' : [4,5,6],
'b' : [8,9,10],
'c' : [11,12,13]
}

The goal is

[('a', 1, [4,5,6]), ('b', 2, [8,9,10]), ('c', 3, [11,12,13])]
My attempts so far:

[(t, c, l) for t, c in one.items() if (t, l) in two.items()]

gives me a 'l is not defined'

---------------

[(t, c, l) for t, c in one.items() for (t, l) in two.items()]

gives me a lot more than I need :-)

---------------

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers,

How about
[(k, v, two[v]) for k, v in one.items()]
or
[(k, v, two[v]) for k, v in one.items() if k in two]
or
[(k, v, two.get(v, None)) for k, v in one.items()]
depending on what you want to do when a key doesn't exist in "two"

I should have thought of that, it is sooo simple... :-)

Thanks again.

Simply forget about items for two.
[(key, val1, two[key]) for key, val1 in one.items() if key in two]

Hi, if you know the Python internals, here is a newbie question for you. If I have a list with 100 elements, each element being a long string, is it more efficient to maintain it as a dictionary (with a key = a string from the list and value = None) for the purpose of insertion and removal? Basically, if Python really implements lists as linked lists but dictionaries as hash tables, it may well be that hashing a key takes negligible time...

Hello everyone, I'm reading the rows from a CSV file. csv.DictReader puts those rows into dictionaries. The actual files contain old and new translations of software strings.

This is probably a FAQ, but I dare to ask it nevertheless since I haven't found a satisfying answer yet: Why isn't there an "ordered dictionary" class at least in the standard list? Time and again I am missing that feature. Maybe there is something wrong with my programming style, but I rather think it is generally useful. I fully agree with the following posting where somebody complains why so very basic and useful things are not part...

Hi. I like working with lists of dictionaries since order is preserved in a list when I want order and the dictionaries make it explicit what I have got inside them. I find this combination very useful for storing constants especially. Generally I find myself either needing to retrieve the values of constants in an iterative way (as in my contrived example below). Perhaps even more frequent is given one value is to look up the matching...

by the way, iterating over bar will throw KeyError if that key does not exist in foo. to see that in action, simply set another key in bar after copy.deepcopy stmt in this example.. bar = 0 and re-run.... fun learning with python...
