Let's say I have the following list of python dictionary:
dict1 = [{'domain':'Ratios'},{'domain':'Geometry'}]
and a list like:
list1 = [3, 6]
I'd like to update dict1 or create another list as follows:
dict1 = [{'domain':'Ratios', 'count':3}, {'domain':'Geometry', 'count':6}]
How would I do this?

Method 1: Using append() function The append function is used to insert a new value in the list of dictionaries, we will use pop() function along with this to eliminate the duplicate data. Syntax: dictionary[row]['key']. append('value')
In Python, you can add a new item to the dictionary dict with dict_object[key] = new_value . In this way, if the key already exists, the value is updated (overwritten) with the new value.
>>> l1 = [{'domain':'Ratios'},{'domain':'Geometry'}]
>>> l2 = [3, 6]
>>> for d,num in zip(l1,l2):
d['count'] = num
>>> l1
[{'count': 3, 'domain': 'Ratios'}, {'count': 6, 'domain': 'Geometry'}]
Another way of doing it, this time with a list comprehension which does not mutate the original:
>>> [dict(d, count=n) for d, n in zip(l1, l2)]
[{'count': 3, 'domain': 'Ratios'}, {'count': 6, 'domain': 'Geometry'}]
You could do this:
for i, d in enumerate(dict1):
d['count'] = list1[i]
