Question

What is the best way to create a dict, with some attributes, from another dict, in Python?

For example, suppose I have the following dict:

dict1 = {
    name:          'Jaime',
    last_name:     'Rivera',
    phone_number:  '111111',
    email:         '[e-mail]',
    password :     'xxxxxxx',
    token:         'xxxxxxx',
    secret_stuff:  'yyyyyyy'   
}

I’d like to obtain

dict2 = {
    name:          'Jaime',
    last_name:     'Rivera',
    phone_number:  '111111',
    email:         '[e-mail]'
}

Answer 1

For instance:

keys = ['name', 'last_name', 'phone_number', 'email']
dict2 = {x:dict1[x] for x in keys}
