Modify dictionary to add new keys and values to existing entries-CodePudding

here is me again asking for help in order to keep learning Python. Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to contribute here.

So, let's say I have this dictionary:

{
    "Pres": "John",
    "King": "Henri"
}

And what I want is to add a "sub dictionary" to each entry, getting an output like this

{
  "Pres": {
    "Name": "John",
    "link": "example.com"
  },
  "King": {
    "Name": "Henri",
    "link": "example2.com"
  }
}

Something like this would work

d = {
    "Pres": "John",
    "King": "Henri"
}

for key in d:
    d[key] = {
        'Name': d[key],
        'link': 'dummyLink'
    }

print(d)

You can replace dummy link by something else

You can loop over the old dict containing the names and a list of urls and create new dictionaries like this:

names_dict = {
    "Pres": "John",
    "King": "Henri",
}
urls = ["example.com", "example2.com"]
new_dict = {}

for (key, name), url in zip(names_dict.items(), urls):
    new_dict[key] = {"Name": name, "link": url}

print(new_dict)
