替换 Python 字典中的字符

Question

I have python dictionary like this and sometimes I get an mdash or some other character (like "\—") that I need to replace with a simply hyphen. I've seen lots of ways to change keys and whole values of a dictionary but I just need to change this character. Is there a way to do this such that they output is the dictionary with the character changed. Thanks

  dict={1:{'name':'Event','description':'Fireside Chat'}, 2:  {'name':'Class','description':'Friendship — Day'} }

Answer 1

Iterate through the values with a loop:

data = {1: {'name': 'Event', 'description': 'Fireside Chat'}, 2: {'name': 'Class', 'description': 'Friendship — Day'}}
for id, row in data.items():
    for k, v in row.items():
        data[id][k] = v.replace('\u20124', '-')

Or with a dict comprehension:

data = {id: {k: v.replace('\u2014', '-') for k, v in row.items()} for id, row in data.items()}

Also: using keywords like 'dict' as variable names is bad practice.
