I'm new to python and have a need to convert a 'list of lists' to a
dictionary object. Can someone help me to convert data similar to the
following using two different examples of a list comprehension and a for
loop?
Data is similar to the following:
[['name=server1', 'state=active', 'ncpu=8', 'mem=8589934592',
'uptime=5784399'], ['name=server2', 'state=active', 'ncpu=32',
'mem=34359738368', 'uptime=5416796'], ['name=server3', 'state=inactive',
'ncpu=8', 'mem=8589934592', 'uptime=']]
I'd like to convert the list data into a dictionary similar to the
following:
node['server1'] = {'state' : 'active', 'ncpu' : 8, 'mem' : 8589934592,
'uptime' : 5784399}
node['server2'] = {'state' : 'active', 'ncpu' : 32, 'mem' : 34359738368,
'uptime' : 5416796}
node['server3'] = {'state' : 'inactive', 'ncpu' : 8, 'mem' : 8589934592,
'uptime' : None}
This would allow me to access information like:
node['server1']['mem']
Thanks in advance,
Brad
