List of tuples to dictionary [duplicate]
Just call dict() on the list of tuples directly
>>> my_list = [('a', 1), ('b', 2)]
>>> dict(my_list)
{'a': 1, 'b': 2}
The dict constructor accepts input exactly as you have it (key/value tuples).
>>> l = [('a',1),('b',2)]
>>> d = dict(l)
>>> d
{'a': 1, 'b': 2}
From the documentation:
For example, these all return a dictionary equal to {"one": 1, "two": 2}:
dict(one=1, two=2) dict({'one': 1, 'two': 2}) dict(zip(('one', 'two'), (1, 2))) dict([['two', 2], ['one', 1]])
