Nested dictionary comprehension python


{inner_k: myfunc(inner_v)} isn't a dictionary comprehension. It's just a dictionary.

You're probably looking for something like this instead:

data = {outer_k: {inner_k: myfunc(inner_v) for inner_k, inner_v in outer_v.items()} for outer_k, outer_v in outer_dict.items()}

For the sake of readability, don't nest dictionary comprehensions and list comprehensions too much.


Adding some line-breaks and indentation:

data = {    outer_k: {inner_k: myfunc(inner_v)}     for outer_k, outer_v in outer_dict.items()    for inner_k, inner_v in outer_v.items()}

... makes it obvious that you actually have a single, "2-dimensional" dict comprehension. What you actually want is probably:

data = {    outer_k: {        inner_k: myfunc(inner_v)        for inner_k, inner_v in outer_v.items()    }     for outer_k, outer_v in outer_dict.items()}

(which is exactly what Blender suggested in his answer, with added whitespace).


{ok: {ik: myfunc(iv) for ik, iv in ov.items()} for ok, ov in od.items()}  

where
ok-outer key
ik-inner key
ov-outer value
iv-inner value od-outer dictionaryThis is how i remember.
