Re: Need help with getting Key, Value out of dicts in lists

There are a number of ways to reorganise the data for the exclusive use of your script without affecting the original data. Is there a reason you can't or not allowed to do this? Regardless, here's some code that might make things a little easier. It operates on each balancer on the fly,

Re: Need help with getting Key, Value out of dicts in lists

OK, I did't know if you were able to re-organize the data. I know nothing about AWS load balancers, but it's unfortunate that the data is laid out in a way that makes dealing with it difficult. But it sounds like you have worked it out. Best of luck. Irv > On Apr 9, 2017, at 2:21 PM,

Need help with getting Key, Value out of dicts in lists

This is an example of the data I'm working with. The key/value pairs may come in any order. There are some keys like the 'Resource_group_id' key and the 'Name' key which will always be present, but other lists may have unique keys. alist = [[{u'Value': 'shibboleth-prd', u'Key': 'Name'},
