Python – K list Nested Dictionary Mesh

Given 2 lists, create nested mesh with constant List.

Input : test_list1 = [4, 6], test_list2 = [2, 7], K = []
Output : {4: {2: [], 7: []}, 6: {2: [], 7: []}}
Explanation : Nested dictionary initialized with [].

Input : test_list1 = [4], test_list2 = [2], K = [1]
Output : {4: {2: [1]}}
Explanation : Nested dictionary initialized with [1].

Method : Using dictionary comprehension

In this, we use nested dictionary comprehension, inner one for list 2 elements to each element of list 1 as key and outer to assign keys from list 1.

Python3

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# K list Nested Dictionary Mesh
# Using * operator

# initializing lists
test_list1 = [4, 6, 8, 7]
test_list2 = [2, 7, 9, 4]

# printing original lists
print("The original list 1 : " + str(test_list1))
print("The original list 2 : " + str(test_list2))

# initializing K
K = [None]

# initializing K list mesh
res = {idx: {sub2: K for sub2 in test_list2} for idx in test_list1}

# printing result
print("Created Mesh : " + str(res))

Output

The original list 1 : [4, 6, 8, 7]
The original list 2 : [2, 7, 9, 4]
Created Mesh : {4: {2: [None], 7: [None], 9: [None], 4: [None]}, 6: {2: [None], 7: [None], 9: [None], 4: [None]}, 8: {2: [None], 7: [None], 9: [None], 4: [None]}, 7: {2: [None], 7: [None], 9: [None], 4: [None]}}
