issue in using dictionary

[amar]

i have dictionary type, below is output when i read dataframe using json.loads (spark)
{'name':'ename','data':'str','len':'2','add':'bgl','out':'y','zip':'3567','add/blr':'Y'}
but i need output like below.
{'ename':{'data':'str','len':'2','add':'bgl','out':'y','zip':'3567','add/blr':'Y'}

the first element which is name not printed instead value of the name as( ename) should print as fieldkey and i have 20 rows in my file. for each row should print like this .. every row has different value for the name (key)


kindly suggest how can i achieve this through dictionary .

Hello amar,

you can do it like this:

lines = [
    {'name':'ename','data':'str','len':'2','add':'bgl','out':'y','zip':'3567','add/blr':'Y'},
    {'name':'another_name','data':'str','len':'2','add':'bgl','out':'y','zip':'3567','add/blr':'Y'}
]

result = {}

for line in lines:
    # extract the name from the line
    name = line["name"]
    # delete the name from the line
    del (line["name"])
    # make the record in result
    result[name] = line

print(result)

Hi,

DO i need to convert dict to list again like below, coz there are many rows .. coz im reading csv to df and doing json.loads to get dict

lines = [
{'name':'ename','data':'str','len':'2','add':'bgl','out':'y','zip':'3567','add/blr':'Y'},
{'name':'another_name','data':'str','len':'2','add':'bgl','out':'y','zip':'3567','add/blr':'Y'}
]

If you want it that way, you can just create a new dict and append it to the list:

result = []
for line in lines:
    name = line['name']
    del line['name']
    result.append({name: line}]

getting error "string indices must be integers for the above code

Can you post your current code including the file lines processing?
