How to convert list of dict to dict. Below is the list of dict

        {\'name\': \'Lisa Simp         


        

Answer 1

Just in case you wanted a functional alternative (also assuming the names are wanted as the new keys), you could do

from toolz.curried import *

data = [{'name': 'John Doe', 'age': 37, 'sex': 'M'},
        {'name': 'Lisa Simpson', 'age': 17, 'sex': 'F'},
        {'name': 'Bill Clinton', 'age': 57, 'sex': 'M'}]

newdata = pipe(data, 
               map(lambda x: {x['name']: dissoc(x, 'name')}),
               lambda x: merge(*x)
)

print(newdata)
