Python – Extract Keys with specific Value Type

Given a dictionary, extract all the keys, whose values are of given type.

Input : test_dict = {‘gfg’ : 2, ‘is’ : ‘hello’, ‘for’ : {‘1’ : 3}, ‘geeks’ : 4}, targ_type = int 
Output : [‘gfg’, ‘geeks’] 
Explanation : gfg and geeks have integer values.

Input : test_dict = {‘gfg’ : 2, ‘is’ : ‘hello’, ‘for’ : {‘1’ : 3}, ‘geeks’ : 4}, targ_type = str 
Output : [‘is’] 
Explanation : is has string value. 

Method #1 : Using loop + isinstance() 

In this, we check for data type using isinstance(), and iterate for all the values using loop.

for key, val in test_dict.items():
  
    # checking for values datatype
    if isinstance(val, targ_type):
        res.append(key)
  
# printing result
print("The extracted keys : " + str(res))

                        filter_none










Output:




The original dictionary is : {‘gfg’: 2, ‘is’: ‘hello’, ‘best’: 2, ‘for’: {‘1’: 3}, ‘geeks’: 4}

The extracted keys : [‘gfg’, ‘best’, ‘geeks’]





Method #2 : Using list comprehension + isinstance()


Similar to above method, one-liner shorthand to solve this problem using list comprehension.
