Mostly around data manipulation, they can be a great way to improve your python skills.
There is many ways to solve this, you can chose your style from:
- best performance
- best readability
- least lines of code
- most obfuscated
the goal is to pass the unit test(s).
import unittest
def dotted_to_dict(incoming):
pass
class TestDottedToDict(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.dotted = [{'a': 1, 'b.e.f': 2, 'b.e.g': 9, 'c.a': 5, 'c.d': 10},
{'a': 6, 'b.f.f': 8, 'b.f.g': 0, 'c.a': None, 'c.d': 15},
]
self.expected = [{'a': 1, 'b': {'e': {'f': 2, 'g': 9}}, 'c': {'a': 5, 'd': 10}},
{'a': 6, 'b': {'f': {'f': 8, 'g': 0}}, 'c': {'a': None, 'd': 15}},
]
def testClasses(self):
"""
"""
got = dotted_to_dict(self.dotted)
self.assertEquals(got, self.expected)
