How do I create dictionary from another dictionary?

Question

What is the best way to create a dict, with some attributes, from another dict, in Python?

For example, suppose I have the following dict:

dict1 = {     name:          'Jaime',     last_name:     'Rivera',     phone_number:  '111111',     email:         '[email protected]',     password :     'xxxxxxx',     token:         'xxxxxxx',     secret_stuff:  'yyyyyyy'    } 

I'd like to obtain

dict2 = {     name:          'Jaime',     last_name:     'Rivera',     phone_number:  '111111',     email:         '[email protected]' } 

Answer 1

For instance:

keys = ['name', 'last_name', 'phone_number', 'email'] dict2 = {x:dict1[x] for x in keys} 

Answer 2

Using dict comprehension:

required_fields = ['name', 'last_name', 'phone_number', 'email'] dict2 = {key:value for key, value in dict1.items() if key in required_fields}
