I currently have a line by line dictionary:
{'file1': 'txt'} {'mydocument': 'pdf'} {'file2': 'txt'} {'archive.tar': 'gz'}
Is there a way to turn this into a one line dictionary? The outcome I would like:
{'file1': 'txt', 'mydocument': 'pdf', 'file2': 'txt', 'archive.tar': 'gz'}
I’m new to Python and a little lost how to do it to a dictionary.

Based on the comments, here is version that reads lines from a file and converts them to one dictionary:
from ast import literal_eval out = {} with open("your_file.txt", "r") as f_in: for line in map(str.strip, f_in): if not line: continue for k, v in literal_eval(line).items(): out[k] = v print(out)
Prints:
{'file1': 'txt', 'mydocument': 'pdf', 'file2': 'txt', 'archive.tar': 'gz'}
