I need a dictionary that returns the same value for multiple keys.
i.e.
(1)>>> dict = { (1,2,3) : 'text' , (5,6,7) : 'other text' }
That will create a dict with 2 keys, both of which are tuples.
(2)>>>dict[1]
(3) 'text'
I cant figure out what i need on line 2 to make this scenario work. Is
there a simple way to check if the a number is present in the key and
then return the value?
If you want multiple keys, then you must provide them separately:
my_dict = {1: 'text', 2: 'text', 3: 'text', 5: 'other text', 6 : 'other
text', 7: 'other text'}
or use 'for' to iterate through the keys for each value:
my_dict = dict([(k, 'text') for k in (1, 2, 3)] + [(k, 'other text') for
k in (5, 6, 7)])
or something similar.
