Reverse / invert a dictionary mapping

Question

Given a dictionary like so:

my_map = {\'a\': 1, \'b\': 2}

How can one invert this map to get:

inv_map = {1: \'a\', 2: \'b\'         


        

Answer 1

I found that this version is more than 10% faster than the accepted version of a dictionary with 10000 keys.

d = {i: str(i) for i in range(10000)}

new_d = dict(zip(d.values(), d.keys()))
