Python: Extract single key-value pair of a dictionary in variables

Python Basic: Exercise-137 with Solution

Write a Python program to extract single key-value pair of a dictionary in variables.

Sample Solution-1:

Python Code:

d = {'Red': 'Green'}
(c1, c2), = d.items()
print(c1)
print(c2)

Sample Output:

Red                                                                                                           
Green

Sample Solution-2:

Python Code:

dict = {'key1': 'val1', 'key2': 'val2', 'key3': 'val3', 'key4': 'val4'}
print("Extract specific key, value")
x, y = list(dict.items())[0]
print(x, y)
x, y = list(dict.items())[3]
print(x, y)

Sample Output:

Extract specific key, value
key1 val1
key4 val4

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")
