I have a list of strings which contains spanish-recipes´s ingredients and its quantities and I would like to get a list of dictionaries splitting every ingredient, unit and quantity.
This is the list:
ingredients=[
'50',
'ccs',
'aceite',
'1',
'hoja',
'laurel',
'\n',
'1',
'cabeza',
'ajos',
'1',
'vaso',
'vino',
'1,5',
'kilos',
'conejo',
'\n',
...]
I would like to get a dict like this:
my_dic=[
{"name":"aceite" ,"qt":50 ,"unit": "ccs"},
{"name":"laurel" ,"qt":1 ,"unit": "hoja"},
{"name":"ajos" ,"qt":1 ,"unit": "cabeza"},
{"name":"vino" ,"qt":1 ,"unit": "vaso"},
{"name":"conejo" ,"qt":1,5 ,"unit": "kilos"},
...]
I have been trying things but it was all a disaster. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!
So first, you want to remove the newlines from your original list:
ingredients = [i for i in ingredients if i is not '\n']
Then, each ingredient name is every third element in the ingredients
list starting from the third element. Likewise for the quantity and unit, starting from the second and first elements, respectively:
names = ingredients[2::3]
units = ingredients[1::3]
qts = ingredients[::3]
Then, iterate through these lists and construct the data structure you specified (which is not actually a dict
but a list
of dict
s):
my_list = []
for i in range(len(names)):
my_dict = {"name":names[i],"qt":qts[i],"unit":units[i]}
my_list.append(my_dict)
There are a lot of ways to compress all of the above, but I have written it for comprehensibility.
How about:
ingredients = (list)(filter(lambda a: a != '\n', ingredients))
ing_organized = []
for i in range (0, len(ingredients) , 3):
curr_dict = {"name": ingredients[i+2] ,"qt": ingredients[i] ,"unit": ingredients[i+1]}
ing_organized.append(curr_dict)
I just removed '\n' elements from the list as they didn't seem to have meaning.
This doesn't produce a dictionary, but it does give you the output that you specify in the question:
# Strip out the \n values (can possibly do this with a .strip() in the input stage)
ingredients = [value for value in ingredients if value != '\n']
labels = ['qt', 'unit', 'name']
my_dic = [dict(zip(labels, ingredients[i:i+3])) for i in range(0, len(ingredients), 3)]
my_dic
contains:
[{'qt': '50', 'unit': 'ccs', 'name': 'aceite'},
{'qt': '1', 'unit': 'hoja', 'name': 'laurel'},
{'qt': '1', 'unit': 'cabeza', 'name': 'ajos'},
{'qt': '1', 'unit': 'vaso', 'name': 'vino'},
{'qt': '1,5', 'unit': 'kilos', 'name': 'conejo'}]
You can clean you list with filter
to remove the \n
characters and then zip()
it together to collect your items together. This makes a quick two-liner:
l = filter(lambda w: w != '\n', ingredients)
result = [{'name': name, 'qt':qt, 'unit': unit}
for qt, unit, name in zip(l, l, l)]
result:
[{'name': 'aceite', 'qt': '50', 'unit': 'ccs'},
{'name': 'laurel', 'qt': '1', 'unit': 'hoja'},
{'name': 'ajos', 'qt': '1', 'unit': 'cabeza'},
{'name': 'vino', 'qt': '1', 'unit': 'vaso'},
{'name': 'conejo', 'qt': '1,5', 'unit': 'kilos'}]
