Python: Remove spaces from dictionary keys

Python dictionary: Exercise-29 with Solution

Write a Python program to remove spaces from dictionary keys.

Sample Solution:-

Python Code:

student_list = {'S  001': ['Math', 'Science'], 'S    002': ['Math', 'English']}
print("Original dictionary: ",student_list)
student_dict = {x.translate({32: None}): y for x, y in student_list.items()}
print("New dictionary: ",student_dict)

Sample Output:

Original dictionary:  {'S  001': ['Math', 'Science'], 'S    002': ['Math', 'English']}
New dictionary:  {'S001': ['Math', 'Science'], 'S002': ['Math', 'English']}

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")
