Question

Lets take dictionary

r = {u’a’: ‘john’, u’b’: ‘ABA Design House , Developing Minds Foundation , Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival’, u’c’: ‘give’}

I want to convert it to:

r = {u’a’: ‘john’, u’b’: [‘ABA Design House’, ‘Developing Minds Foundation’, ‘Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival’], u’c’: ‘give’}

Answer 1

Use in-built method split()

>>> r[u'b'] = r[u'b'].split(',')
>>> r
    {u'a': 'john', u'c': 'give', u'b': ['ABA Design House ', ' Developing Minds Foundation ', ' Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival']}

In case you are uncomfortable with the leading/trailing spaces use the strip() method after you split

>>> r[u'b']=[x.strip() for x in r[u'b'].split(',')]
>>> r
{u'a': 'john', u'c': 'give', u'b': ['ABA Design House', 'Developing Minds Foundation', 'Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival']}
