Displaying duplicates in dictionary

[lokesh]

Hi,

I am trying to below snippet of code but displaying duplicates. Can you please let me know where i did mistake.

src_base_path="/data/infy"
year_mth="2020-10-05"
folder_names = "1, 2, 3"
table_names = "bt1, bt2, bt3"

src_path = '{0}/{1}/app_date={2}/source={3}/'
input_dict = {}
input_body = []
tables = list(table_names.split(', '))
print("Tables to be processed: {}".format(tables))
folders = list(folder_names.split(', '))
print("Folders to be processed: {}".format(folders))
for i in range(len(folders)):
    for j in range(0,len(tables)):
        input_body.append({'sourcePath': src_path.format(src_base_path, tables[j], year_mth, folders[i]), 'tableName': tables[j]})
input_dict['tables'] = input_body
print("Input_body: {}".format(input_dict))
print(input_dict)

Thanks in advance

because we don't see your data, would you explain in more detail - what duplicates, what is expected and what i the actual output,etc.

It's impossible to have with your code duplicates, because you're not creating duplicates.
I changed your code a litte bit (functionality is the same):

from pprint import pprint


src_base_path = "/data/infy"
year_mth = "2020-10-05"
folder_names = ["1", "2", "3"]
table_names = ["bt1", "bt2", "bt3"]

print(f"Tables to be processed: {table_names}")
print(f"Folders to be processed: {folder_names}")

src_path = "{0}/{1}/app_date={2}/source={3}/"
input_body = []
for folder_name in folder_names:
    for table_name in table_names:
        input_body.append(
            {
                "sourcePath": src_path.format(
                    src_base_path, table_name, year_mth, folder_name
                ),
                "tableName": table_name,
            }
        )


pprint(input_body)

A dict can have only unique keys. Putting stuff into a dict with the same key will overwrite the old value.
