Python: Remove duplicates from Dictionary

Python dictionary: Exercise-17 with Solution

Write a Python program to remove duplicates from Dictionary.

Sample Solution:-

Python Code:

student_data = {'id1': 
   {'name': ['Sara'], 
    'class': ['V'], 
    'subject_integration': ['english, math, science']
   },
 'id2': 
  {'name': ['David'], 
    'class': ['V'], 
    'subject_integration': ['english, math, science']
   },
 'id3': 
    {'name': ['Sara'], 
    'class': ['V'], 
    'subject_integration': ['english, math, science']
   },
 'id4': 
   {'name': ['Surya'], 
    'class': ['V'], 
    'subject_integration': ['english, math, science']
   },
}

result = {}

for key,value in student_data.items():
    if value not in result.values():
        result[key] = value

print(result)

Sample Output: 

{'id2': {'subject_integration': ['english, math, science'], 'class': ['V'], 'name': ['David']}, 'id4': {'subje
ct_integration': ['english, math, science'], 'class': ['V'], 'name': ['Surya']}, 'id1': {'subject_integration'
: ['english, math, science'], 'class': ['V'], 'name': ['Sara']}}

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
