Python create own dict view of subset of dictionary

Question

As the many questions on the topic here on SO attest, taking a slice of a dictionary is a pretty common task, with a fairly nice solution:

{k:v for k,v in di         


        

Answer 1

This is pretty easy to implement:

from collections import Mapping
class FilteredItems(Mapping):
    def __init__(self, source, filter):
        self.source = source
        self.p = filter

    def __getitem__(self, key):
        x = self.source[key]
        if self.p(key,x):
            return key,x
        else:
            raise KeyError(key)


d2 = FilteredItems(d, some_test)
