How to convert an OrderedDict into a regular dict in python3

Question

I am struggling with the following problem: I want to convert an OrderedDict like this:

OrderedDict([(\'method\', \'constant\'), (\'data\', \'1.         


        

Answer 1

If somehow you want a simple, yet different solution, you can use the {**dict} syntax:

from collections import OrderedDict

ordered = OrderedDict([('method', 'constant'), ('data', '1.225')])
regular = {**ordered}
