how to change string values in dictionary to int values
- by tom smith
I have a dictionary such as:
{'Sun': {'Satellites': 'Mercury,Venus,Earth,Mars,Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus,Neptune,Ceres,Pluto,Haumea,Makemake,Eris', 'Orbital Radius': '0', 'Object': 'Sun', 'RootObject': 'Sun', 'Radius': '20890260'}, 'Earth': {'Period': '365.256363004', 'Satellites': 'Moon', 'Orbital Radius': '77098290', 'Radius': '63710.41000.0', 'Object': 'Earth'}, 'Moon': {'Period': '27.321582', 'Orbital Radius': '18128500', 'Radius': '1737000.10', 'Object': 'Moon'}}
I am wondering how to change just the number values to ints instead of strings.
def read_next_object(file):
obj = {}
for line in file:
if not line.strip(): continue
line = line.strip()
key, val = line.split(": ")
if key in obj and key == "Object":
yield obj
obj = {}
obj[key] = val
yield obj
planets = {}
with open( "smallsolar.txt", 'r') as f:
for obj in read_next_object(f):
planets[obj["Object"]] = obj
print(planets)
