How to assign values from one master dictionary to another?-CodePudding

I'm currently solving a project in chapter 5 of the Automate the Boring stuff concerning a chess dictionary validator. I'm currently trying to create a dictionary from an existing master dictionary that contains the key, values of the board pieces in their respective colors and their quantity. Currently, the code I have is:

theBoard = {
"pieces": {"pawn": 8, "knight": 2, "bishop": 2, "rook": 2, "queen": 1, "king": 1},
"color": ["w", "b"],
"height": ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h"],
"width": ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8']}
tot_pieces = dict.fromkeys([''.join(t) for t in list(itertools.product(theBoard['color'], theBoard['pieces']))],"")

I've successfully created a dictionary with the color code and pieces as keys, but I want to use the values from the [pieces] dictionary as values for the tot_pieces dictionary.

Edit: the output that I'm expecting is another dictionary containing the product of pieces & color as keys and the values from the pieces dictionary as the values for this new dictionary.

Any help is appreciated!!!

this can help you, (code in your fashion and will cover all cases)

dict(zip(
    [''.join(t) for t in list(itertools.product(theBoard['color'], theBoard['pieces']))],
    [t[1] for t in list(itertools.product(theBoard['color'], theBoard['pieces'].values()))],
))
