Python 3.5 iterate through a list of dictionaries
You could just iterate over the indices of the range
of the len
of your list
:
dataList = [{'a': 1}, {'b': 3}, {'c': 5}]
for index in range(len(dataList)):
for key in dataList[index]:
print(dataList[index][key])
or you could use a while loop with an index
counter:
dataList = [{'a': 1}, {'b': 3}, {'c': 5}]
index = 0
while index < len(dataList):
for key in dataList[index]:
print(dataList[index][key])
index += 1
you could even just iterate over the elements in the list directly:
dataList = [{'a': 1}, {'b': 3}, {'c': 5}]
for dic in dataList:
for key in dic:
print(dic[key])
It could be even without any lookups by just iterating over the values of the dictionaries:
dataList = [{'a': 1}, {'b': 3}, {'c': 5}]
for dic in dataList:
for val in dic.values():
print(val)
Or wrap the iterations inside a list-comprehension or a generator and unpack them later:
dataList = [{'a': 1}, {'b': 3}, {'c': 5}]
print(*[val for dic in dataList for val in dic.values()], sep='\n')
the possibilities are endless. It's a matter of choice what you prefer.
You can easily do this:
for dict_item in dataList:
for key in dict_item:
print dict_item[key]
It will iterate over the list, and for each dictionary in the list, it will iterate over the keys and print its values.
