How can I get dictionary key as variable directly in Python (not by searching from value)?

Question

Sorry for this basic question but my searches on this are not turning up anything other than how to get a dictionary\'s key based on its value which I would prefer not to us

Answer 1

This code below is to create map to manager players point. The goal is to concatenate the word "player" with a sequential number.

players_numbers = int(input('How many girls will play? ')) #First - input receive a input about how many people will play

players = {}  
counter = 1

for _ in range(players_numbers): #sum one, for the loop reach the correct number
    player_dict = {f'player{counter}': 0} #concatenate the word player with the player number. the initial point is 0.
    players.update(player_dict) #update the dictionary with every player
    counter = counter + 1
    print(players)

Output >>> {'player1': 0, 'player2': 0, 'player3': 0}...
