python merge list of dictionaries by key code example

Example 1: merged all dictionaries in a list python

>>> result = {}
>>> for d in L:
...    result.update(d)
... 
>>> result
{'a':1,'c':1,'b':2,'d':2}

Example 2: merge two list of dictionaries python with string

import pandas as pd

l1 = [{'id': 9, 'av': 4}, {'id': 10, 'av': 0}, {'id': 8, 'av': 0}]
l2 = [{'id': 9, 'nv': 45}, {'id': 10, 'nv': 0}, {'id': 8, 'nv': 30}]

df1 = pd.DataFrame(l1).set_index('id')
df2 = pd.DataFrame(l2).set_index('id')
df = df1.merge(df2, left_index=True, right_index=True)
df.T.to_dict()
# {9: {'av': 4, 'nv': 45}, 10: {'av': 0, 'nv': 0}, 8: {'av': 0, 'nv': 30}}
