python map value to value instead of two key-value pairs

Question

I currently have this right now

[{'label': 'ID', 'value': '8'}, {'label': 'Document', 'value': 'Authority Visit'}]

I wanted it to be

[{'ID':'8'},{'Document':'Authority Visit'}]

Thanks for helping.

Going off of @StephenRauch, I think it might be more constructive to create _one_ dictionary with `'ID'` and `'Document'` as your keys. — busybear, Jan 04 '19 at 06:37

You can just iterate over your list and then access both label and values per item:

sample_dict = [
  {'label': 'ID', 'value': '8'},
  {'label': 'Document', 'value': 'Authority Visit'}
]

result = [{item['label']:item['value']} for item in sample_dict]

print(result)
