Python merge dictionaries with custom merge function

Question

I want to merge two dictionaries A and B such that the result contains:

• All pairs from A where key is unique to A
• All pairs from B where key is unique

Answer 1

>>> def f(x,y):
...     return x*y
... 
>>> dict([(k,v) for k,v in A.items()] + [ (k,v) if k not in A else (k,f(A[k],B[k])) for k,v in B.items()])
{1: 1, 2: 6, 7: 3}
