I would like to create a dictionary from list
>>> list=['a',1,'b',2,'c',3,'d',4]
>>> print list
['a', 1, 'b', 2, 'c', 3, 'd', 4]
I use dict() to produce dictionary from list but the result is not in sequence as expected.
>>> d = dict(list[i:i+2] for i in range(0, len(list),2))
>>> print d
{'a': 1, 'c': 3, 'b': 2, 'd': 4}
I expect the result to be in sequence as the list.
{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'd': 4}
Can you guys please help advise?
Dictionaries don't have any order, use collections.OrderedDict
if you want the order to be preserved. And instead of using indices use an iterator
.
>>> from collections import OrderedDict
>>> lis = ['a', 1, 'b', 2, 'c', 3, 'd', 4]
>>> it = iter(lis)
>>> OrderedDict((k, next(it)) for k in it)
OrderedDict([('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3), ('d', 4)])
You could use the grouper recipe : zip(*[iterable]*n)
to collect the items into groups of n
:
In [5]: items = ['a',1,'b',2,'c',3,'d',4]
In [6]: items = iter(items)
In [7]: dict(zip(*[items]*2))
Out[7]: {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'd': 4}
PS. Never name a variable list
, since it shadows the builtin (type) of the same name.
The grouper recipe is easy to use, but a little harder to explain .
Items in a dict
are unordered. So if you want the dict items in a certain order, use a collections.OrderedDict (as falsetru already pointed out):
In [13]: collections.OrderedDict(zip(*[items]*2))
Out[13]: OrderedDict([('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3), ('d', 4)])
Dictionary is an unordered data structure. To preserve order use collection.OrderedDict :
>>> lst = ['a',1,'b',2,'c',3,'d',4]
>>> from collections import OrderedDict
>>> OrderedDict(lst[i:i+2] for i in range(0, len(lst),2))
OrderedDict([('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3), ('d', 4)])
