How to convert an OrderedDict into a regular dict in python3

Question

I am struggling with the following problem: I want to convert an OrderedDict like this:

OrderedDict([(\'method\', \'constant\'), (\'data\', \'1.         


        

Answer 1

If you are looking for a recursive version without using the json module:

def ordereddict_to_dict(value):
    for k, v in value.items():
        if isinstance(v, dict):
            value[k] = ordereddict_to_dict(v)
    return dict(value)

Answer 2

Its simple way

>>import json 
>>from collection import OrderedDict

>>json.dumps(dict(OrderedDict([('method', 'constant'), ('data', '1.225')])))
