Hi , I am trying to merge(I am not sure if that is the right term)
dictionaries like this
dict1 ={'a':4,'b':3,'v':7,'h':4}
dict2={'a':5,'v':4,'k':3}
dict3 would be {'a':[4,5],'b':[3,4],'v':[7,4],'k':[0,3],'h':[4,0]}
I don't know how "idiomatic" it is but I'd probably just go for a for loop
dict3 = {}
for key in set(dict1.keys()+dict2.keys()): # get the unique keys
dict3[key] = [dict1.get(key,0),dict2.get(key,0)]
I suspect that in Python 3 you could use the new dict notation
to do it slightly more neatly.
HTH,
