从字典数据中删除 Unicode

Question

I have following dictionary

  My_Dict= { u'Apple': [u'A' , u'B'] ,u'orange': [u'C' , u'D'] }

I have another dictionary with same data but not in Unicode

  Dict= { 'Apple': ['A' , 'B'] ,'orange': ['C' , 'D'] }

I am trying to compare both dictionary but its saying both dictionary are not same. I assume its because of that Unicode

Is there any way I can compare both dictionary by removing Unicode from My_dict or converting 'Dict' to Unicode ?

The reason I got Unicode is because I am using S-expression parser. Link to parser module is below for reference. http://sexpdata.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Answer 1

To remove Unicode from Dictionary Try:

import json, ast
My_Dict= { u'Apple': [u'A' , u'B'] ,u'orange': [u'C' , u'D'] }
print(ast.literal_eval(json.dumps(My_Dict)))

Answer 2

import json
some_other_dict = json.loads(json.dumps(My_Dict))
print(some_other_dict)

Try this one. It will remove unicode.

Answer 3

Maybe perform a json.dumps on both.

json.dumps({ u'Apple': [u'A' , u'B'] ,u'orange': [u'C' , u'D'] })
Output: `'{"orange": ["C", "D"], "Apple": ["A", "B"]}'

json.dumps({ 'Apple': ['A' , 'B'] ,'orange': ['C' , 'D'] })
Output: `'{"orange": ["C", "D"], "Apple": ["A", "B"]}'`

Answer 4

For removing unicode you have to convert key and value from unicode.

Check the below code

My_Dict= { u'Apple': [u'A' , u'B'] ,u'orange': [u'A' , u'B'] }
Dict= { 'Apple': ['A' , 'B'] ,'orange': ['C' , 'D'] }

My_Dicts={}
for i, v in My_Dict.items():
  ky= i.encode('ascii','ignore')
  if type(v)is list:My_Dicts[ky]=[ item.encode('ascii') for item in v ]
  else: My_Dicts[ky] =v.encode('ascii','ignore')
My_Dict=My_Dicts

print My_Dict
print Dict

Output

{'orange': ['C', 'D'], 'Apple': ['A', 'B']}
{'orange': ['C', 'D'], 'Apple': ['A', 'B']}
