I have a list of orderdicts. And I would like to combine all of them together and then sort them by the fruit attribute in each of them. I have been to combine and sort them using defaultdict through the code below.
super_dict_apple = defaultdict(list)
super_dict_orange = defaultdict(list)
super_dict_no_fruit = defaultdict(list)
for d in dict:
if 'fruit' not in d:
for k, v in d.iteritems():
super_dict_no_fruit[k].append(v)
elif d['fruit'] == 'Apple':
for k, v in d.iteritems():
super_dict_apple[k].append(v)
elif d['fruit'] == 'orange':
for k, v in d.iteritems():
super_dict_orange[k].append(v)
With this I get one key and all the associated values, but I loose the original order. So I tried to do it with an orderDict, but I cannot get it to work, below is what I tried.
from collections import OrderedDict
order_dict_no_fruit = OrderedDict()
order_dict_apple = OrderedDict()
order_dict_orange = OrderedDict()
for d in dict:
if 'fruit' not in d:
for k, v in d.iteritems():
order_dict_no_fruit[k].append(v)
elif d['fruit'] == 'Apple':
for k, v in d.iteritems():
order_dict_apple[k].append(v)
elif d['fruit'] == 'orange':
for k, v in d.iteritems():
order_dict_orange[k].append(v)
My main goal is to keep the original order of the dictionaries but combine them into three different orderDicts based on the fruit keys.
