Sometimes, while working with Python dictionaries, we can have it’s keys in form of tuples. A tuple can have many elements in it and sometimes, it can be essential to get them. If they are a part of a dictionary keys and we desire to get filtered tuple key elements, we need to perform certain functionalities to achieve this. Let’s discuss certain ways in which this task can be performed.
Method #1 : Using list comprehension
In this method, we just iterate through the each dictionary item and get it’s filtered key’s elements into a list.
# Python3 code to demonstrate working of # Filter Tuple Dictionary Keys # Using list comprehension # Initializing dict test_dict = {(5, 6) : 'gfg', (1, 2, 8) : 'is', (9, 10) : 'best'} # printing original dict print("The original dict is : " + str(test_dict)) # Initializing K K = 5 # Filter Tuple Dictionary Keys # Using list comprehension res = [ele for key in test_dict for ele in key if ele > K] # printing result print("The filtered dictionary tuple key elements are : " + str(res)) |
The original dict is : {(5, 6): 'gfg', (9, 10): 'best', (1, 2, 8): 'is'}
The filtered dictionary tuple key elements are : [6, 9, 10, 8]
Method #2 : Using chain.from_iterable()
This task can be performed in more compact form, using one word instead of one-line by using from_iterable(), which internally accesses the tuple elements and stores in list and then perform the filter operation.
# Python3 code to demonstrate working of # Filter Tuple Dictionary Keys # Using chain.from_iterable() from itertools import chain # Initializing dict test_dict = {(5, 6) : 'gfg', (1, 2, 8) : 'is', (9, 10) : 'best'} # printing original dict print("The original dict is : " + str(test_dict)) # Initializing K K = 5 # Filter Tuple Dictionary Keys # Using chain.from_iterable() temp = list(chain.from_iterable(test_dict)) res = [ele for ele in temp if ele > K] # printing result print("The filtered dictionary tuple key elements are : " + str(res)) |
The original dict is : {(5, 6): 'gfg', (9, 10): 'best', (1, 2, 8): 'is'}
The filtered dictionary tuple key elements are : [6, 9, 10, 8]
