Find values from the Nested Dict - python-3.x

Question

Something I'm doing incorrect, but I got data with list of nested dict, I need to pull the value and store in the output dict.
Data:
[{
"encoding":"json",
"result": {
"aclList":[
{
"chipName":"",
"countersEnabled":true,
"countersIncomplete":false,
"dynamic":false,
"name":"FW-RULE-IN",
"readonly":false,
"sequence":[
{
"convertSymbols":true,
"sequenceNumber":1,
"text":"TEST: RULE 1"
},
{
"convertSymbols":true,
"sequenceNumber":2,
"text":"TEST: RULE 2"
},
{
"convertSymbols":true,
"sequenceNumber":3,
"text":"TEST: RULE 3"
},]}]}}]
Like to put sequenceNumber, text values in to output result in Dict.
here is the code I got, but not working, how to fix it?
def parse_data(data):
rules = {}
acllist = []
for k, v in data[0].items():
for h, j in k['result'].items():
for i in h['aclList'][0]:
for l in i[0]['sequence']:
rules['NUM'] = int(j['sequenceNumber'])
rules['TEXT_RULES'] = j['text']
acllist.append(rules.copy())
print (j['sequenceNumber'], j['text'])
return acllist

Answer 1

I'm assuming there can be multiple elements to these lists. If there aren't you could simplify to.
for dct in data[0]['result']['aclList'][0]['sequence']:
rules['NUM'] = int(dct['sequenceNumber'])
rules['TEXT_RULES'] = dct['text']
acllist.append(rules.copy())
print (inner['sequenceNumber'], dct['text'])
However if you want to iterate through every list and gather the elements for each version, it would look more like this:
def parse_data(data):
acllist = []
# for each dict in the initial list
for dct in data:
# for each list in the ['aclList'] key of the ['result'] key
for lst in dct['result']['aclList']:
# for each inner dict in the ['sequence'] key
for inner in lst['sequence']:
rules = {}
rules['NUM'] = int(inner['sequenceNumber'])
rules['TEXT_RULES'] = inner['text']
acllist.append(rules.copy())
print (inner['sequenceNumber'], inner['text'])
return acllist
data =[{
"encoding":"json",
"result": {
"aclList":[
{
"chipName":"",
"countersEnabled":True,
"countersIncomplete":False,
"dynamic":False,
"name":"FW-RULE-IN",
"readonly":False,
"sequence":[
{
"convertSymbols":True,
"sequenceNumber":1,
"text":"TEST: RULE 1"
},
{
"convertSymbols":True,
"sequenceNumber":2,
"text":"TEST: RULE 2"
},
{
"convertSymbols":True,
"sequenceNumber":3,
"text":"TEST: RULE 3"
},]}]}}]
print(parse_data(data))
Where you went wrong is that you are iterating through the key/values of you dicts.
for k, v in data[0].items():
k here would contain "encoding" and "result".
And then you are trying to iterate through those keys.
for h, j in k['result'].items():
But what you are essentially doing here is saying:
k = "result"
for h, j in k['result'].items():
Or:
for h, j in "result"['result'].items():
You can see why this would throw an error.
