Python – Convert Dictionaries List to Order Key Nested dictionaries

Given list of dictionaries, convert to ordered key dictionary with each key contained dictionary as its nested value.

Input : test_list = [{“Gfg” : 3, 4 : 9}, {“is”: 8, “Good” : 2}]
Output : {0: {‘Gfg’: 3, 4: 9}, 1: {‘is’: 8, ‘Good’: 2}}
Explanation : List converted to dictionary with index keys.

Input : test_list = [{“is”: 8, “Good” : 2}]
Output : {1: {‘is’: 8, ‘Good’: 2}}
Explanation : List converted to dictionary with index keys, just one row.

Method #1 : Using loop + enumerate()

This is brute way in which this task can be performed. In this, we iterate through the index and value together using enumerate and create custom required dictionary.

# using enumerate() to extract key to map with dict values 
res = dict()
for idx, val in enumerate(test_list):
    res[idx] = val
      
# printing result 
print("The constructed dictionary : " + str(res))

                        filter_none










Output


The original list : [{'Gfg': 3, 4: 9}, {'is': 8, 'Good': 2}, {'Best': 10, 'CS': 1}]
The constructed dictionary : {0: {'Gfg': 3, 4: 9}, 1: {'is': 8, 'Good': 2}, 2: {'Best': 10, 'CS': 1}}





Method #2 : Using dictionary comprehension + enumerate() 


This is similar to above method, the only difference is that dictionary comprehension is used instead of loop to perform task of encapsulation.
