I have this task to turn a date (which is the value of "birth_date" inside of a dictionary-CodePudding

my_dict = {
    "first_name": "Michael",
    "last_name": "Mike",
    "birthdate": "29.06.1980",  # ***
    "hobbies": ["Sing", "Compose", "Act"]
}

"birthdate" is the key and the date is the value. I need to cast the date to a tuple inside the dictionary so it will be like this:

"birth_date": (29,06,1980)

CodePudding user response：

You can access the value corresponding to the 'birthdate' key, then split that string on '.', then convert each value to int within a generator expression

>>> tuple(int(i) for i in my_dict['birthdate'].split('.'))
(29, 6, 1980)

If you want to replace the value in the dict then you can assign this value back to that original key.

>>> my_dict['birthdate'] = tuple(int(i) for i in my_dict['birthdate'].split('.'))
>>> my_dict
{'first_name': 'Michael', 'last_name': 'Mike', 'birthdate': (29, 6, 1980), 'hobbies': ['Sing', 'Compose', 'Act']}
