Converting a file into a list and then into a dictionary-CodePudding

I'm working with a file right now where every line of data is sorted like " Dog 15 28 0 58 79 01" and I'm trying to convert it to a dictionary where Dog is the key and the others are the values.

Because its not split by comma's I've figured out that I should probably .split it to convert it to a list then use a for each loop to set the values in the dictionary but i'm struggling with the execution. This is all in python by the way. How might I go about doing it?

Here is an example of how to split a line and add it to a dictionary :

data = "Dog 15 28 0 58 79 01"

theDict = {}
key = data.split(" ")[0]
values = data.split(" ")[1:]
theDict[key] = values

I hope it help you.

You can't have multiple values for a single a key. There is always a key-value pair. A single key can only have a single value.

Edit: According to the comment, you can do it like this

data = "Dog 15 28 0 58 79 01"

d = {}
d[data.split(" ")[0]] = data.split(" ")[1:]

Edit: For every line in the file you can do it like

l = []
#if f is the file
for line in f:
    l.append({line.split(" ")[0]: line.split(" ")[1:]}) 
#It will append all the dicts into the list l

Hope it helps!!
