Python invert dictionary

# Invert a dictionary that can have several keys mapping to the same value
# In the inverse dictionary every value is mapped to the list of its keys

D={'a':1, 'b':1, 'c':2, 'd':2, 'e':3} 
D_inv={} 
for k,v in D.items(): D_inv[v]=D_inv.get(v,[])+[k]

invert dictionary python

orig = { 1:'A',  2:'B',  3:'C' }
new = dict(zip(orig.values(), orig.keys()))
new == {'A': 1, 'B': 2, 'C': 3} #True

invert a dictionary python

d = {'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3}

# Output:
