How to convert dict to list of dict with python

Question

How to convert this dict

"Team":{
    "number": '2',
    "persons": ['Doe',"john"]
}

to this list of dict

"Team" :[
    {"number": '2'},
   { "persons": ['Doe',"john"]}
]

I tried the solutions mentioned in this link but nothing works for me. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

That can be done by list comprehension.

def convert(dictionary):
  return [{key: value} for key, value in dictionary.items()]

Then, you get

>>> convert({"number": "2", "persons": ["Doe", "John"]})
[{"number": "2"}, {"persons": ["Doe", "John"]}]

Answer 2

Do you mean like this?

let's say it's a single dict

team_dict = {
    "number": '2',
    "persons": ['Doe',"john"]
}

new_team_dict = [{k: team_dict[k]} for k in team_dict ]
