convert a list of dictionaries to a dictionary with dict comprehension

Question

Original:

# abs is not a string, it's a function name 
[{'name': 'abs'}, {'op': abs}]

to

{'name': 'abs', 'op': abs}

My code:

op = [{'name': 'abs'}, {'op': abs}] # key value is unique 
new_dict = {}
for item in op:
    new_dict.update(item)

Is there a way to do the same with dict comprehension?

Answer 1

Code:

list_of_dicts = [{'name': 'abs'}, {'op': abs}]
new_dict = {k: v for element in list_of_dicts for k, v in element.items()}

Output:

{'name': 'abs', 'op': <built-in function abs>}

Answer 2

Using dict

Ex:

data = [{'name': 'abs'}, {'op': abs}]
print(dict(tuple(*i.items()) for i in data))

Output:

{'name': 'abs', 'op': <built-in function abs>}
