PYTHON

read list of dictionaries from file python

#1. Reading using Pickle
import pickle
  
try:
    geeky_file = open('GFG.txt', 'r')
    dictionary_list = pickle.load(geeky_file)
      
    for d in dictionary_list:
        print(d)
    geeky_file.close()
  
except:
    print("Something unexpected occurred!")

#2. Reading from Text File:

def parse(d):
    dictionary = dict()
    # Removes curly braces and splits the pairs into a list
    pairs = d.strip('{}').split(', ')
    for i in pairs:
        pair = i.split(': ')
        # Other symbols from the key-value pair should be stripped.
        dictionary[pair[0].strip('''""')] = pair[1].strip('''""')
    return dictionary
try:
    geeky_file = open('geeky_file.txt', 'rt')
    lines = geeky_file.read().split('
')
    for l in lines:
        if l != '':
            dictionary = parse(l)
            print(dictionary)
    geeky_file.close()
except:
    print("Something unexpected occurred!")
