Python: Remove a specified dictionary from a given list

Python dictionary: Exercise-48 with Solution

Write a Python program to remove a specified dictionary from a given list.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def remove_dictionary(colors, r_id):
    colors[:] = [d for d in colors if d.get('id') != r_id]
    return colors

colors = [{"id" : "#FF0000", "color" : "Red"}, 
          {"id" : "#800000", "color" : "Maroon"}, 
          {"id" : "#FFFF00", "color" : "Yellow"}, 
          {"id" : "#808000", "color" : "Olive"}] 
print('Original list of dictionary:')
print(colors)
r_id = "#FF0000"
print("\nRemove id",r_id,"from the said list of dictionary:")
print(remove_dictionary(colors, r_id))

Sample Output:

Original list of dictionary:
[{'id': '#FF0000', 'color': 'Red'}, {'id': '#800000', 'color': 'Maroon'}, {'id': '#FFFF00', 'color': 'Yellow'}, {'id': '#808000', 'color': 'Olive'}]

Remove id #FF0000 from the said list of dictionary:
[{'id': '#800000', 'color': 'Maroon'}, {'id': '#FFFF00', 'color': 'Yellow'}, {'id': '#808000', 'color': 'Olive'}]
