How can I remove a key in a dic in a list

for exemple

My_list= [{'ID':0,'Name':'Paul','phone':'1234'},{'ID':1,'Name':'John','phone':'5678'}]

I want to remove in ID 1 the phone key

My_list= [{'ID':0,'Name':'Paul','phone':'1234'},{'ID':1,'Name':'John'}]

thanks in advance for your help

When the id you are looking for matches 1, then reconstruct the dictionary excluding the key phone, otherwise use the dictionary as it is, like this

l = [{'ID': 0, 'Name': 'Paul', 'phone': '1234'},
     {'ID': 1, 'Name': 'John', 'phone': '5678'}]

k, f = 1, {"phone"}
print([{k: i[k] for k in i.keys() - f} if i["ID"] == k else i for i in l])
# [{'phone': '1234', 'ID': 0, 'Name': 'Paul'}, {'ID': 1, 'Name': 'John'}]

Here, k is the value of ID you are looking for and f is a set of keys which need to be excluded in the resulting dictionary, if the id matches.

  • @user3224813 If you are using Python 3.x, please check the updated answer. Also, you need to explicitly mention the version in the question. That would be good for the answerers. – thefourtheye May 23 '14 at 00:21

Just iterate through the list, check whether if 'ID' equals to 1 and if so then delete the 'phone' key. This should work:

for d in My_list:
    if d["ID"] == 1:
        del d["phone"]

And finally print the list:

print My_list
