Map dictionary values to a list

Question

I have a dictionary whose values are a list:

dict ={10: ['jhon', 'abc', '[email protected]'], 12: ['raghav', 'awdaw', '[email protected]']}

Now I am accessing them like this: dict[10][0]

But It makes so confusing as I don't know what is at index 0 in my list for a particular key.

For this I have another list which helps me what is at index i.

['Manager Name', 'Owner Name', 'Email']

So know this makes easy to access the values of my dictionary. Like I want to use: dict[10]['Manager Name'] instead of dict[10][0]

Is this achievable in Python. Because I tried reference from Map two list in to dictionary But how do I map a dictionary values to a list

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible. Just restructure your dictionary into a nested dictionary:

d_input = {10: ['jhon', 'abc', '[email protected]'],
           12: ['raghav', 'awdaw', '[email protected]']}

d = {k: {'Manager Name': a, 'Owner Name': b, 'Email': c} \
        for k, (a, b, c) in d_input.items()}

Result:

{10: {'Email': '[email protected]', 'Manager Name': 'jhon', 'Owner Name': 'abc'},
 12: {'Email': '[email protected]', 'Manager Name': 'raghav', 'Owner Name': 'awdaw'}}

Extendible version with zip:

cats = ['Manager Name', 'Owner Name', 'Email']

d = {k: dict(zip(cats, v)) for k, v in d_input.items()}
