Dictionary keys match on list; get key/value pair

In python… I have a list of elements ‘my_list’, and a dictionary ‘my_dict’ where some keys match in ‘my_list’.

I would like to search the dictionary and retrieve key/value pairs for the keys matching the ‘my_list’ elements.

I tried this…

JavaScript

But it doesn’t do the job.

If you want to create a new dictionary from these key-value pairs, use
