ChainMap in Python

Last Updated : 28 Jun, 2021

Python contains a container called "

ChainMap

" which encapsulates many

dictionaries

into one unit. ChainMap is member of module "

collections

Example: Python3


 # Python program to demonstrate  
# ChainMap  
     
     
from collections import ChainMap  
     
     
d1 = {'a': 1, 'b': 2} 
d2 = {'c': 3, 'd': 4} 
d3 = {'e': 5, 'f': 6} 
  
# Defining the chainmap  
c = ChainMap(d1, d2, d3)  
     
print(c)

Output:

ChainMap({'a': 1, 'b': 2}, {'c': 3, 'd': 4}, {'e': 5, 'f': 6})

Let's see various Operations on ChainMap

Access Operations

keys() :- This function is used to display all the keys of all the dictionaries in ChainMap.
values() :- This function is used to display values of all the dictionaries in ChainMap.
maps() :- This function is used to display keys with corresponding values of all the dictionaries in ChainMap.

Python3


 # Please select Python 3 for running this code in IDE
# Python code to demonstrate ChainMap and
# keys(), values() and maps

# importing collections for ChainMap operations
import collections

# initializing dictionaries
dic1 = { 'a' : 1, 'b' : 2 }
dic2 = { 'b' : 3, 'c' : 4 }

# initializing ChainMap
chain = collections.ChainMap(dic1, dic2)

# printing chainMap using maps
print ("All the ChainMap contents are : ")
print (chain.maps)

# printing keys using keys()
print ("All keys of ChainMap are : ")
print (list(chain.keys()))

# printing keys using keys()
print ("All values of ChainMap are : ")
print (list(chain.values()))

Output :

All the ChainMap contents are : 
[{'b': 2, 'a': 1}, {'c': 4, 'b': 3}]
All keys of ChainMap are : 
['a', 'c', 'b']
All values of ChainMap are : 
[1, 4, 2]

Note :

Notice the key named "b" exists in both dictionaries, but only first dictionary key is taken as key value of "b". Ordering is done as the dictionaries are passed in function.

Manipulating Operations

new_child() :- This function adds a new dictionary in the beginning of the ChainMap.
reversed() :- This function reverses the relative ordering of dictionaries in the ChainMap.

Python3


 # Please select Python 3 for running this code in IDE
# Python code to demonstrate ChainMap and
# reversed() and new_child()

# importing collections for ChainMap operations
import collections

# initializing dictionaries
dic1 = { 'a' : 1, 'b' : 2 }
dic2 = { 'b' : 3, 'c' : 4 }
dic3 = { 'f' : 5 }

# initializing ChainMap
chain = collections.ChainMap(dic1, dic2)

# printing chainMap using map
print ("All the ChainMap contents are : ")
print (chain.maps)

# using new_child() to add new dictionary
chain1 = chain.new_child(dic3)

# printing chainMap using map
print ("Displaying new ChainMap : ")
print (chain1.maps)

# displaying value associated with b before reversing
print ("Value associated with b before reversing is : ",end="")
print (chain1['b'])

# reversing the ChainMap
chain1.maps = reversed(chain1.maps)

# displaying value associated with b after reversing
print ("Value associated with b after reversing is : ",end="")
print (chain1['b'])

Output :

All the ChainMap contents are : 
[{'b': 2, 'a': 1}, {'b': 3, 'c': 4}]
Displaying new ChainMap : 
[{'f': 5}, {'b': 2, 'a': 1}, {'b': 3, 'c': 4}]
Value associated with b before reversing is : 2
Value associated with b after reversing is : 3
