My mistake, I skimmed and assumed that the question was asking for this:
from collections import namedtuple
data = {'1': 1, 'two-2': 2}
x = namedtuple('x', data.keys())
# ValueError: Type names and field names must be valid identifiers: '1'
# But now understand that the request was for this:
from collections import namedtuple
Item = namedtuple('Item', ['key', 'value'])
def items_tuple(self):
for key, value in self.items():
yield Item(key, value)
# So that this test would pass:
def test_items():
data = {'1': 1, 'two-2': 2}
for item in data.items():
assert hasattr('key', item)
assert hasattr('value', item)
key, value = item
assert item.key == key
assert item.value == value
# FWIW, here are rough timings:
data = dict.fromkeys(range(10000))
def timeit(code):
print(f">>> {code}")
get_ipython().run_line_magic('timeit', code)
timeit('for item in data.items(): item[0], item[1]')
timeit('for key, value in data.items(): key, value')
timeit('for item in items_tuple(data): item.key, item.value')
>>> for item in data.items(): item[0], item[1]
874 µs ± 21.5 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)
>>> for key, value in data.items(): key, value
524 µs ± 4.26 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)
>>> for item in items_tuple(data): item.key, item.value
5.82 ms ± 117 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)
