How to split a string within a list to create key-value pairs in Python

Question

I have a list that looks like this:

[ 'abc=lalalla', 'appa=kdkdkdkd', 'kkakaka=oeoeoeo'] 

And I want to split this list by '=' so that everything on the left side will become keys and on the right, values.

{      'abc':'lalalla',     'appa':'kdkdkdkd',     'kkakaka':'oeoeo' } 

Answer 1

a = [ 'abc=lalalla', 'appa=kdkdkdkd', 'kkakaka=oeoeoeo'] d = dict(s.split('=') for s in a) print d   Output: {'kkakaka': 'oeoeoeo', 'abc': 'lalalla', 'appa': 'kdkdkdkd'}
