How to merge dicts, collecting values from matching keys?

by

Here’s a general solution that will handle an arbitrary amount of dictionaries, with cases when keys are in only some of the dictionaries:

from collections import defaultdict

d1 = {1: 2, 3: 4}
d2 = {1: 6, 3: 7}

dd = defaultdict(list)

for d in (d1, d2): # you can list as many input dicts as you want here
    for key, value in d.items():
        dd[key].append(value)
    
print(dd) # result: defaultdict(<type 'list'>, {1: [2, 6], 3: [4, 7]})
