I have the following dictionary:
abc = {'y': 'Y', 'b': 'B', 'e': 'E', 'x': 'X', 'v': 'V', 't': 'T', 'f': 'F', 'w': 'W', 'g': 'G', 'o': 'O', 'j': 'J', 'm': 'M', 'z': 'Z', 'h': 'H', 'd': 'D', 'r': 'R', 'l': 'L', 'p': 'P', 'a': 'A', 's': 'S', 'k': 'K', 'n': 'N', 'q': 'Q', 'i': 'I', 'u': 'U', 'c': 'C'}
What I wanted was to separate the values and keys into two different lists. And order each one, the result I want:
lista_peq = ['a', 'b', 'c' ...]
lista_grd = ['A', 'B', 'C' ...]
This solution that I will give you works in both python 2.7.x and python 3.x.x.
To separate
abc = {'y': 'Y', 'b': 'B', 'e': 'E', 'x': 'X', 'v': 'V', 't': 'T', 'f': 'F', 'w': 'W', 'g': 'G', 'o': 'O', 'j': 'J', 'm': 'M', 'z': 'Z', 'h': 'H', 'd': 'D', 'r': 'R', 'l': 'L', 'p': 'P', 'a': 'A', 's': 'S', 'k': 'K', 'n': 'N', 'q': 'Q', 'i': 'I', 'u': 'U', 'c': 'C'}
In two lists, one with lowercase letters and one with uppercase and order them do so:
lista_peq = sorted(abc.keys()) #['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z']
lista_grd = sorted(abc.values()) #['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z']
abc.values() will extract the values and abc.keys() will extract the keys. The sorted(...) method in case of being python 2.7.x will sort alphabetically, and in case of being python 3.x in addition to sort will also convert to list implicitly. To convert only to list (without being ordered) in python 3.x would be list(abc.keys()) and list(abc.values()) .
