I have an error with this line. I am working with a dictionary from a file with an import. This is the dictionary:
users = [{'id':1010,'name':"Administrator",'type':1},{'id':1011,'name':"Administrator2",'type':1}]
And the method with which the work is as follows:
def addData(dict, entry):
new = {}
x = 0
for i in dict.keys():
new[i] = entry(x)
x += 1
dict.append(new)
Where "dict" would be "users", but the error is that the dictionary does not recognize me as such. Can anyone tell me, I have wrong in the dictionary?
That's not a dicionary, it's a list of dictionaries!
EDIT: And to make this a little more answer-ish:
users = [{'id':1010,'name':"Administrator",'type':1},{'id':1011,'name':"Administrator2",'type':1}]
newusers = dict()
for ud in users:
newusers[ud.pop('id')] = ud
print newusers
#{1010: {'type': 1, 'name': 'Administrator'}, 1011: {'type': 1, 'name': 'Administrator2'}}
newusers[1012] = {'name': 'John', 'type': 2}
print newusers
#{1010: {'type': 1, 'name': 'Administrator'}, 1011: {'type': 1, 'name': 'Administrator2'}, 1012: {'type': 2, 'name': 'John'}}
Which is essentially the same as dawgs answer, but with a simplified approach on generating the new dictionary
Perhaps you are looking to do something along these lines:
users = [{'id':1010,'name':"Administrator",'type':1},{'id':1011,'name':"Administrator2",'type':1}]
new_dict={}
for di in users:
new_dict[di['id']]={}
for k in di.keys():
if k =='id': continue
new_dict[di['id']][k]=di[k]
print new_dict
# {1010: {'type': 1, 'name': 'Administrator'}, 1011: {'type': 1, 'name': 'Administrator2'}}
Then you can do:
>>> new_dict[1010]
{'type': 1, 'name': 'Administrator'}
Essentially, this is turning a list of anonymous dicts into a dict of dicts that are keys from the key 'id'
