I really have no idea what that means. You have 100 dicts of
dicts? Are the keys unique? If so, you could combine them with a
loop of update.

How about random.choice? It needs a sequence.
To get anything more concrete, you need to specify Python version,
and make a clearer problem statement, perhaps with example of
what you expect.
Hey DaveA,
I am using Python 2.7.
Yes. I have a dict of dicts with keys ranging from 1..100
And the value of each of these keys is another dict. What I need to do is make
3 smaller dicts and assign the values of keys 1..100 in the ratio 2:3:5.
For example, if my original dict is
d={"1":{"Key1":"Value1", "Key2":"Value2", "Key3":"Value3"},
"2":{"Key1":"Value1", "Key2":"Value2", "Key3":"Value3"},
"3":{"Key1":"Value1", "Key2":"Value2", "Key3":"Value3"},
"4":{"Key1":"Value1", "Key2":"Value2", "Key3":"Value3"}}
...
...
"100":{"Key1":"Value1", "Key2":"Value2", "Key3":"Value3"}
I need to have three dicts d1, d2, d3 with d1 containing the values of first 20
keys, d2 containing the values on next 30 keys and d3 containing the values of
the next 50.
Can you please help me with this?
You can get a list of the entries using the dict's .items method. It's
then a simple matter of slicing the list.
Note that dicts aren't ordered, i.e. its keys aren't in a fixed order,
so if you want then in a particular order, you'll need to sort the list.
