I want to extract string GROUP from 2 level encapsulated dictionary. dict = {‘instance1’

  • 0

I want to extract string “GROUP” from 2 level encapsulated dictionary.

dict = {'instance1' : {'runType' : 'GROUP'},
        'instance2' : { 'runType' : 'PROCESS'}}

If i access runType of instance1 with obviuos way dict['instance1']['runType'], then i get the string ['GROUP']. I also tried dict['instance1'].get('runType', 'Null'), with hope that .get will return raw string "GROUP", but that did not happened.

Is there any other short way to get pure string data from X>1 level of dictionary without str() and then strip() etc.?

————–Solution—————

dict[‘instance1’][‘runType’][0] will return pure GROUP string

    Just got correct answer from friend. [‘GROUP’] is a list with 1 member.
    So , dict[‘instance1’][‘runType’][0] will return pure GROUP.
    Thank you everybody!
