pydicts 0.8.0

Module to use dictionaries in various situations

PyDicts

Module to use dictionaries, list of dictionaries and other data structures

I've developed this module because I needed this kind of methods developing with Django and python

Acronyms

pydicts uses several acronyms to call functions and parameters

• lod: List of dictionaries [{"a":1,"b":2}, {"a":3,"b":4}]
• lood: List of ordered dictionaries (OrderedDicts from collections module) [OrderedDict([('a', 1), ('b', 2)]), OrderedDict([('a', 3), ('b', 4)])]
• lol: List of lists [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
• dod: Dictionary of dictionaries {'key2': {'a': 1, 'b': 2}, 'key1': {'a': 1, 'b': 2}}
• lod_ymv: List of dictionaries with year-month-value keys [{'year': 2021, 'month': 1, 'value': 12.12}, {'year': 2023, 'month': 3, 'value': 13.03}]
• lod_xyv: List of dictionaries with x-y-value keys [{'X': 21, 'Y': 12, 'value': 180}, {'X': 2, 'Y': 122, 'value': 170}]

LOD

dod2lod

Converts a dictionary of dictionaries (dod) to a list of dictionaries (lod), ignoring dictionary keys

>>> from pydicts import lod
>>> dod={'key2': {'a': 1, 'b': 2}, 'key1': {'a': 1, 'b': 2}}
>>> lod.dod2lod(dod)
[{'a': 1, 'b': 2}, {'a': 1, 'b': 2}]

lod2dictkv

lod2dod

Converts a list of dictionaries (lod) to a dictionary of dictionaries (dod) using a key as the dictionary key. This is a fast method to access dictionaries.

>>> from pydicts import lod
>>> lod_=[{"a":1,"b":2}, {"a":3,"b":4}]
>>> lod.lod2dod(lod_,"b")
{2: {'a': 1, 'b': 2}, 4: {'a': 3, 'b': 4}}

lod2dod_tuple

lod2list

Converts a list of dictionaries (lod) to list using all values of key

>>> from pydicts import lod
>>> lod_=[{"a":1,"b":2}, {"a":3,"b":4}]
>>> lod.lod2list(lod_,"a")
[1, 3]

lod2list_distinct

Converts a list of dictionaries (lod) to list using all distinct values of key

>>> from pydicts import lod
>>> lod_= [{'a': 1, 'b': 2}, {'a': 3, 'b': 4}, {'a': 3, 'b': 4}]
>>> lod.lod2list_distinct(lod_,"b")
[2, 4]
>>> lod.lod2list(lod_,"b")
[2, 4, 4]

lod_calculate

Makes calculations inside dictionary iterations

>>> from pydicts import lod
>>> lod_= [{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c':5}, {'a': 3, 'b': 4, 'c': 6}, {'a': 3, 'b': 4, 'c': 7}]
>>> lod.lod_calculate(lod_, "d", lambda d, index: d['a']+d['b']+d['c'])
[{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 5, 'd': 8}, {'a': 3, 'b': 4, 'c': 6, 'd': 13}, {'a': 3, 'b': 4, 'c': 7, 'd': 14}]

lod_clone

Makes a clone of the list of dictionaries createing a new list and new dictionaries

lod_filter_dictionaries

Create a new lod leaving filtering dictionaries that returns True to lambda funcion

>>> from pydicts import lod
>>> lod_= [{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c':5}, {'a': 3, 'b': 4, 'c': 6}, {'a': 3, 'b': 4, 'c': 7}]
>>> lod.lod_filter_dictionaries(lod_, lambda d, index: index >0 and d['c']> 6)
[{'a': 3, 'b': 4, 'c': 7}]

lod_filter_keys

Creates a new list of dictionaries with dictionaries that only have the keys passed as parameters

>>> from pydicts import lod
>>> lod_= [{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c':5}, {'a': 3, 'b': 4, 'c': 6}, {'a': 3, 'b': 4, 'c': 7}]
>>> lod.lod_print(lod_)
+-----+-----+-----+
|   a |   b |   c |
|-----+-----+-----|
|   1 |   2 |   5 |
|   3 |   4 |   6 |
|   3 |   4 |   7 |
+-----+-----+-----+

>>> new_lod=lod.lod_filter_keys(lod_,  ["a", "c"])
>>> lod.lod_print(new_lod)
+-----+-----+
|   a |   c |
|-----+-----|
|   1 |   5 |
|   3 |   6 |
|   3 |   7 |

lod_has_key

Returns a boolean. Checks if list of dictionaries has a key

>>> from pydicts.lod import lod_has_key
>>> lod=[{"a":1, "b":4},{"a":2, "b":5}]
>>> lod_has_key(lod,"a")
True
>>> lod_has_key(lod,"d")
False
>>> lod_has_key([ ],"d")
False

lod_keys

Returns a list with the keys of the first dictionary in the list
