Convert list of strings to dictionary

Question

I have a list

[\'Tests run: 1\', \' Failures: 0\', \' Errors: 0\']

I would like to convert it to a dictionary as

{\'Tests r         


        

Answer 1

l = ['Tests run: 1', ' Failures: 0', ' Errors: 0']
d = dict([map(str.strip, i.split(':')) for i in l])
for key, value in d.items():
    d[key] = int(value)
print(d)

output:

{'Tests run': 1, 'Errors': 0, 'Failures': 0}
