How to split a string within a list to create key-value pairs in Python

Question

I have a list that looks like this:

[ 'abc=lalalla', 'appa=kdkdkdkd', 'kkakaka=oeoeoeo']

And I want to split this list by '=' so that everything on the left side will become keys and on the right, values.

{ 
    'abc':'lalalla',
    'appa':'kdkdkdkd',
    'kkakaka':'oeoeo'
}

Answer 1

a = [ 'abc=lalalla', 'appa=kdkdkdkd', 'kkakaka=oeoeoeo']
d = dict(s.split('=') for s in a)
print d


Output:
{'kkakaka': 'oeoeoeo', 'abc': 'lalalla', 'appa': 'kdkdkdkd'}
