Python – Test for Empty Dictionary Value List

Given a dictionary with list as values, check if all lists are empty.

Input : {“Gfg” : [], “Best” : []}
Output : True
Explanation : Both lists have no elements, hence True.

Input : {“Gfg” : [], “Best” : [4]}
Output : False
Explanation : “Best” contains element, Hence False.

Method #1 : Using any() + values()

The combination of above functions can be used to solve this  task. In this, we check for any value present in values we extract using values(), if not found, then list is empty.

# initializing dictionary
test_dict = {"Gfg" : [], "Best" : [], "is" : []}
  
# printing original dictionary
print("The original dictionary is : " + str(test_dict))
  
# checking if any value is found 
# using not to negate the result of any()
res = not any(test_dict.values())
  
# printing result 
print("Are value lists empty? : " + str(res))

                        filter_none










Output


The original dictionary is : {'Gfg': [], 'Best': [], 'is': []}
Are value lists empty? : True





Method #2 : Using all() + values()


This is another way in which we can solve the problem. In this, we can check for each key if all values are empty using all().
