how to add a dictionary item from one list to the other dictionary in other list

Question

I have one list of dictionary like this:

data = [{"name":"Kane", "age": 29},
        {"name":"will", "age": "32"}]


dtat_2 = [ {"Team":"SRH", "Country" :"NZ"},
           {"Team":"RCB", "Country" :"WI"}]

Expected output:

data3 = [{"name":"Kane", "age": 29, "Team":"SRH", "Country" :"NZ"},
         {"name":"will", "age": "32", "Team":"RCB", "Country" :"WI"}]

How can I do this?

Answer 1

On python >= 3.5 you can zip the lists and unpack them like this:

[{**d1, **d2} for d1, d2 in zip(data, dtat_2)]
# [{'Country': 'NZ', 'Team': 'SRH', 'age': 29, 'name': 'Kane'},
#  {'Country': 'WI', 'Team': 'RCB', 'age': '32', 'name': 'will'}]

---

Another one that should work for any version is in-place update, this updates one of the dictionaries (just fyi).

for d1, d2 in zip(data, dtat_2):
    d1.update(d2)

data
# [{'Country': 'NZ', 'Team': 'SRH', 'age': 29, 'name': 'Kane'},
#  {'Country': 'WI', 'Team': 'RCB', 'age': '32', 'name': 'will'}]
