Danny, i wrote a method called *merge *below can you be little clear with an example
I wrote something like this ids = [] for i in tes: if i['a'] not in ids: ids.append(i['a']) print ids def merge(ids, tes): for jj in ids: txt = '' for i in tes: if i['a'] == jj: txt = txt + ', ' + i['b'] i['b'] = txt return tes pprint.pprint(merge(ids, tes)) result is like [1, 2] [{'a': 1, 'b': ', this', 'c': 221}, {'a': 2, 'b': ', this', 'c': 215}, {'a': 1, 'b': ', this, is', 'c': 875}, {'a': 1, 'b': ', this, is, sentence', 'c': 874}, {'a': 2, 'b': ', this, another', 'c': 754}, {'a': 2, 'b': ', this, another, word', 'c': 745}] from this result need to take off the other dict so that it'll match the result_tes = [{'a': 1, 'b': 'this, is, sentence', 'c': '221, 875, 874'}, {'a': 2, 'b': 'this, another, word', 'c': '215, 754, 744'}] On Fri, Sep 19, 2014 at 12:58 PM, Danny Yoo <d...@hashcollision.org> wrote: > > > {'a': 2, 'b': 'another', 'c': 754}, > > {'a': 2, 'b': 'word', 'c': 745} > > > > > if the value of the 'a' is same, then all those other values of the dict > should be merged/clubbed. > > Can you write a function that takes two of these and merges them?
