lists and dictionaries

[Ladislav Andel]

Hi,
I have a list of dictionaries.
e.g.
[{'index': 0, 'transport': 'udp', 'service_domain ': 'dp0.example.co m'},
{'index': 1, 'transport': 'udp', 'service_domain ': 'dp1.example.co m'},
{'index': 0, 'transport': 'tcp', 'service_domain ': 'dp0.example.co m'},
{'index': 1, 'transport': 'tcp', 'service_domain ': 'dp1.example.co m'}]

how could I make a new list of dictionaries which would look like:
[{'transports': ['udp','tcp'], 'service_domain ': 'dp0.example.co m'},
{'transports': ['udp','tcp'], 'service_domain ': 'dp1.example.co m'}]

Could you help me, please?

li = [ {'index': 0, 'transport': 'udp', 'service_domain ':
'dp0.example.co m'},
{'index': 1, 'transport': 'udp', 'service_domain ':
'dp1.example.co m'},
{'index': 0, 'transport': 'tcp', 'service_domain ':
'dp0.example.co m'},
{'index': 1, 'transport': 'tcp', 'service_domain ':
'dp1.example.co m'}]

I like this solution:

[{ 'transports' : [d['transport'] for d in li if
d['service_domain '] == dom],
'service_domain ': dom,
} for dom in set(d2['service_domain '] for d2 in li)]

merely because it takes one line. Humorously enough, it appears to be
twice as efficient, at least when profiled on my computer, if speed is
important in this problem. Not that this is the best way to do it
either.

Anyway, since the generator expression isn't very clear:

def indexBasedToSDB ased(li):
newli = []
# For each service domain in the set read from the original list
for sdom in set(d['service_domain '] for d in li):
# Append a new dictionary mapping all transports for this
domain
newli.append({
'service_domain ': sdom,
'transports': [d['transport'] for d in li if
d['service_domain '] == sdom]
})
return newli

(which is slower than the one-line generator :-D I love generator
expressions)

doms = {}
for entry in oldList:
doms.setdefault (entry['service_domain '],
[]).append(entry['transport'])
newList = [{'transports': t, 'service_domain ': d} for d,t in
doms.iteritems( )]

Correct me if I´m wrong, that is a O(n**2) solution, to O(n) problem.

Thank you to all of you guys.
It's exactly I was looking for.

Hi,
could you actually help me further?
I thought it will quite easy but I've been programming in python just
for a month.
I need to add extra items in new list.
So here is example:

I have a list of dictionaries.
e.g.
[{'index': 0, 'ip_addr': '1.2.3.4', 'server-name':'Asterisk ', 'transport': 'udp', 'service_domain ': 'dp0.example.co m'},
{'index': 1, 'ip_addr': '5.6.7.8', 'server-name':'Asterisk ', 'transport': 'udp', 'service_domain ': 'dp1.example.co m'},
{'index': 0, 'ip_addr': '1.2.3.4', 'server-name': 'Yes', 'transport': 'tcp', 'service_domain ': 'dp0.example.co m'},
{'index': 1, 'ip_addr': '5.6.7.8', 'server-name': 'Yes', 'transport': 'tcp', 'service_domain ': 'dp1.example.co m'}]

The server-name within tcp test is not known because I just open connection at port where the server should run and if succeeded then server-name = Yes. In newlist should be the server name Asterisk though.

how could I make a new list of dictionaries which would look like:
[{'transports': ['udp','tcp'], 'service_domain ': 'dp0.example.co m', 'ip_addr': '1.2.3.4', 'server-name':'Asterisk '},
{'transports': ['udp','tcp'], 'service_domain ': 'dp1.example.co m', 'ip_addr': '5.6.7.8', 'server-name':'Asterisk '}]

I was trying to implement it to existing code but I'm not really
successful so far.

Thank you for your help.
