Finding matching keys in two large dictionaries and doing it fast

Question

I am trying to find corresponding keys in two different dictionaries. Each has about 600k entries.

Say for example:

    myRDP = { \'Actinobacter\':          


        

Answer 1

def combine_two_json(json_request, json_request2):
intersect = {}

for item in json_request.keys():
    if item in json_request2.keys():
        intersect[item]=json_request2.get(item)
return intersect
