字典与元组

Dictionaries have a method called items that returns a sequence of tuples, where each tuple is a key-value pair.

>>> d = {'a':0, 'b':1, 'c':2}
>>> t = d.items()
>>> t
dict_items([('c', 2), ('a', 0), ('b', 1)])

The result is a dict_items object, which is an iterator that iterates the key-value pairs. You can use it in a for loop like this:

>>> for key, value in d.items(): ... print(key, value)
...
c 2
a 0 
b 1 

Going in the other direction, you can use a list of tuples to initialize a new dictionary:

>>> t = [('a', 0), ('c', 2), ('b', 1)]
>>> d = dict(t)
>>> d
{'a': 0, 'c': 2, 'b': 1}

Combining dict with zip yields a concise way to create a dictionary:

>>> d = dict(zip('abc', range(3)))
>>> d
{'a': 0, 'c': 2, 'b': 1}
