Applying a function to values in dict

Question

I want to apply a function to all values in dict and store that in a separate dict. I am just trying to see how I can play with python and want to see how I can rewrite something like this

for i in d:     d2[i] = f(d[i]) 

to something like

d2[i] = f(d[i]) for i in d 

The first way of writing it is of course fine, but I am trying to figure how python syntax can be changed

Answer 1

If you're using Python 2.7 or 3.x:

d2 = {k: f(v) for k, v in d1.items()} 

Which is equivalent to:

d2 = {} for k, v in d1.items():     d2[k] = f(v) 

Otherwise:

d2 = dict((k, f(v)) for k, v in d1.items())
