Python - Flatten a dict of lists into unique values?

Question

I have a dict of lists in python:

content = {88962: [80, 130], 87484: [64], 53662: [58,80]}

I want to turn it into a list of the unique val

Answer 1

use set() and itertools.chain():

In [83]: content = {88962: [80, 130], 87484: [64], 53662: [58,80]}

In [84]: from itertools import chain

In [94]: x=set(chain(*content.values()))

In [95]: x
Out[95]: set([58, 64, 80, 130]) # a set, the items may or may not be sorted

In [96]: sorted(x)         #convert set to a sorted list
Out[96]: [58, 64, 80, 130]
