how to iterate through a list of dictionaries, printing each dictionary to a new line in python?-CodePudding

I am trying to iterate through a list of dictionaries in Python, and for each dictionary present all the key:value pairs. I want to print each dictionary on it's own line, as well as count the line entries.

list_dict = [{'name':'d1', 'color':'red'},{'name':'d2', 'color':'green'},{'name':'d3','color':'blue}]

when I use

for i in list_dict:
    print(i)

I get a very 'ugly' printout (including brackets and quotation marks) However, when I try to use a nested loop:

for i in list_dict:
    for key, val in i.items():
        print(key, ':', val, end=" ")

the code will print ALL THE DATA FROM ALL DICTIONARIES in the same line. I am looking for a way to print each dictionaries keys and values on a new line. Additionally, I would like to also number the lines (1. key:value, key:value) etc. Since i becomes a dictionary and not an integer, printing i does not work. I was sort of able to go around this by wrapping the whole thing in ANOTHER for loop

for i in range(len(list_dict)):
 (some code)

but I'm wondering if there is a better way to do all of this? Thanks!

You could try something like this:

j = 1
for i in list_dict:
    print(j, end= " ")
    for key, val in i.items():
        print(key, ':', val, end=" ")
    print('\n')
    j  = 1

This is far from the most elegant and/or optimized solution, but it works for the case stated.

You can use for print data in new line you can do

for i in list_dict:
    for key, val in i.items():
        print(key, ':', val, end="\n")

also remove end=" "

for i in list_dict:
    for key, val in i.items():
        print(key, ':', val)

For print data of dictionary like 1:key:value

itr=1
for i in list_dict:
    for key, val in i.items():
        print(itr,':',key, ':', val, end="\n")
        itr=itr 1

Complete Code

list_dict = [{'name':'d1', 'color':'red'},{'name':'d2', 'color':'green'},{'name':'d3','color':'blue'}]
itr=1
for i in list_dict:
    for key, val in i.items():
        print(itr,':',key, ':', val)
        itr=itr 1

Output:
