List of multiple dictionaries

Question

Very simple question that I can’t find an answer for.

Let’s say i have a list of multiple lists inside this list.

List_1 = [[“name”,”Richard”,”age”,36],[“name”,”Andrea”,”age”,44],[”name”,”Steve”,”age”,56]]

What i would need is to convert each list inside “main” list to dictionary so as a result there would be 1 list where inside is multiple dictionaries.

Thanks for helping me out this is just making me crazy..

Answer 1

All you need is a basic for loop.

new_list = []
for sublist in list_1:
    Put your code to convert the sublist to a dict here
    new_list.append(dictionary)

Answer 2

This should work:

for i in range(len(List_1)):
    List_1[i] = {'name': List_1[i][1], 'age': List_1[i][3]}

Where List_1 is a list of the type defined in the question.
