I apologize in advance as this is not much of a Maya question but I am trying to convert this 'list' within nested dictionaries into a dictionary type.
I had a function where it ingests in a nested dictionary and allows me to sort the contents by a specified value eg. name. This is a portion of it - return {k: {'entries': sorted([v1 for _,v1 in v['entries'].items()], key= lambda el: el['name'])} for k,v in dict_data.items()} However, possibly because I am using [] which returns me a list type. What I am expecting in the output is something as follow: {'my test': { 'entries': { 'name': 'running_slow_v001' ... }, ... } } but I am getting: {'my test': { 'entries': [{ 'name': 'running_slow_v001' ... }], ... } } I tried using `dict()` and tested the placement anywhere within the return sentence, it will returns me an error.
