I was writing some code and was wondering whether there was a more elegant method.

data_to_parse = 
    {'unknown_key1': {'body': 'value1', 'subject': 'value1'}, 
    {'unknown_key2': {'body': 'value2', 'subject': 'value2'} 
    # goes on and on etc.

for i, unused_and_only_to_fix_bug in enumerate(data_to_parse):
        email_key_id = list(data_to_parse.keys())[i]
        email_info = data_to_parse[email_key_id]

When I remove unused_and_only_to_fix_bug it throws: ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 1)

CodePudding user response：

Hard to understand what you are trying to achieve, but it seems like you are trying to access the dictionnary keys and value in a weird way in your for loop

if your goal is really getting each key, value association from a dictionnary that's how you are "supposed" to do :

for key, value in data_to_parse.items():
        email_key_id = key
        email_info = value

where if you have let's say a dictionnary = { "first_email_id": {'body': 'value1', 'subject': 'value1'}}

key will take the value of "first_email_id" and value will take the value of {'body': 'value1', 'subject': 'value1'}
