Converting list of tuples into a dictionary

Question

I\'m looking for a way to convert a list of tuples like this:

[(1,4),(2,4),(3,4),(4,15),(5,15),(6,23),(7,23),(8,23),(9,15),(10,23),(11,15),(12,15)]
         


        

Answer 1

>>> a = [(1,4),(2,4),(3,4),(4,15),(5,15),(6,23),(7,23),(8,23),(9,15),(10,23),(11,15),(12,15)]
>>> b = {}
>>> for i, j in a:
...     b.setdefault(j, []).append(i)
...
>>> b
{23: [6, 7, 8, 10], 4: [1, 2, 3], 15: [4, 5, 9, 11, 12]}
>>>
