I have the following dictionaries:



d1 = "00f_5" :[1,2,3], "00f_6": [1,2,3]

d2 = ["marker":"00f_5",1: 'AAA',"marker":"00f_6", 1: 'CCC',"marker":"00f_5", 2:"AAC"]


I would like the following output:



d1 = "00f_5" :["AAA","AAC",3], "00f_6": ["CCC",2,3]


I have tried multiple attempts, but I couldn't get it. Any help would be much appreciated.

You can build a dict that maps the marker to a sub-dict that maps numeric keys to the 3-letter codes, so that given a marker and a numeric key, you can use dict.get method to get the mapped code if it exists:



d = 
for s in d2:
d.setdefault(s['marker'], ).update(s)
d1 = k: [d[k].get(i, i) for i in l] for k, l in d1.items()


so that given:



d1 = "00f_5" :[1,2,3], "00f_6": [1,2,3]
d2 = ["marker":"00f_5",1: 'AAA',"marker":"00f_6", 1: 'CCC',"marker":"00f_5", 2:"AAC"]


d1 will become:



'00f_5': ['AAA', 'AAC', 3], '00f_6': ['CCC', 2, 3]

    Although I will not give you the full program, you might try to understand and play with the following code:



    d2 = ["marker":"00f_5",1: 'AAA',"marker":"00f_6", 1: 'CCC',"marker":"00f_5", 2:"AAC"]

    for d in d2:
    for key, value in d.items():
    if key == "marker":
    marker = value
    else:
    reference = value
    content = key
    print("Marker: , Reference: , Content: ".format(marker, reference, content))

      I would not suggest overwriting the first dict. Just make a new one (d3).



      Given



      d1 = "00f_5" :[1,2,3], "00f_6": [1,2,3]

      lst = [
      "marker":"00f_5",1: 'AAA',
      "marker":"00f_6", 1: 'CCC',
      "marker":"00f_5", 2:"AAC"
      ]


      Code



      d3 = 
      for d in lst:
      key = d["marker"]
      value = d1[key]
      for k, v in d.items():
      if not isinstance(k, int): # skip to numeric keys
      continue
      if key not in d3: # fill missing entries
      d3[key] = value
      idx = k - 1
      d3[key][idx] = v # overwrite list item

      d3
      '00f_5': ['AAA', 'AAC', 3], '00f_6': ['CCC', 2, 3]

                            I would not suggest overwriting the first dict. Just make a new one (d3).



                            Given



                            d1 = "00f_5" :[1,2,3], "00f_6": [1,2,3]
