reset key in dict python

Question

I have a python dictionary.

project = {
             5:{"name:Mark"},
             1:{"name:Mark"},
             3:{"name:Mark"},
             4:{"name:Kim"},
             2:{"name:Kim"},
          }

I want to reset the keys.

project = {
             1:{"name:Mark"},
             2:{"name:Mark"},
             3:{"name:Mark"},
             4:{"name:Kim"},
             5:{"name:Kim"},
          }

How could I do that?

Yes, now that python has an ordered dict the key value pairs keep their order when you iterate over them. You just have to give the values new keys:

project = {
             5:{"name:Mark"},
             1:{"name:Mark"},
             3:{"name:Mark"},
             4:{"name:Kim"},
             2:{"name:Kim"},
          }

project = {index:value for index,value in enumerate(project.values(), 1)}

print(project)

Output as requested.

(Note the short version given in the comment below:)

project = dict(enumerate(project.values(), 1))
