python sorting dictionary by length of values
Solution 1:
>>> d = {"one": [(1,3),(1,4)], "two": [(1,2),(1,2),(1,3)], "three": [(1,1)]}
>>> for k in sorted(d, key=lambda k: len(d[k]), reverse=True):
print k,
two one three
Here is a universal solution that works on Python 2 & Python 3:
>>> print(' '.join(sorted(d, key=lambda k: len(d[k]), reverse=True)))
two one three
Solution 2:
dict= {'a': [9,2,3,4,5], 'b': [1,2,3,4, 5, 6], 'c': [], 'd': [1,2,3,4], 'e': [1,2]}
dict_temp = {'a': 'hello', 'b': 'bye', 'c': '', 'd': 'aa', 'e': 'zz'}
def sort_by_values_len(dict):
dict_len= {key: len(value) for key, value in dict.items()}
import operator
sorted_key_list = sorted(dict_len.items(), key=operator.itemgetter(1), reverse=True)
sorted_dict = [{item[0]: dict[item [0]]} for item in sorted_key_list]
return sorted_dict
print (sort_by_values_len(dict))
output:
[{'b': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]}, {'a': [9, 2, 3, 4, 5]}, {'d': [1, 2, 3, 4]}, {'e': [1, 2]}, {'c': []}]
