How to not iterate in a dictionary? How to get the key?

Question

import json
import requests
from pprint import pprint

def get_address(pendientes): #I want to improve function get_address and
#get_addressv2. Specifically, I do not want to iterate in a
#dictionary. Please help me.
try:
llaves = list(pendientes.keys())
print(llaves[3]+":",pendientes["age"])
except:
print("Problemas en la función get_address")

def get_addressv2(pendientes): #Proof that you cannot iterate in orden in a dicitionary
try:
key = list(pendientes.items())[1]
print(key)
except:
print("Problemas en la función get_addressv2")

def iteraccion(pendientes):
for keys in pendientes.keys():
if keys =="age" : print(keys, ":", pendientes["age"])

def print_completeAddress(pendientes):
for k,v in pendientes["address"].items():
print(k,":",v)

def main():
try:
input= "https://tools.learningcontainer.com/sample-json.json"
response=requests.get(input)
pendientes = json.loads(response.text)
#pprint(pendientes) Si desea ver le Json descomente esta línea.
get_address(pendientes)
except:
pprint("Problemas de cargue de JSON")

if __name__== "__main__" :
main()

!!!Please help me to optimize this code and not to try to iterate in the dictionary"

Answer 1

Hi Rosana,
it's hard to understand your question. From my guess, you want to access the key-value pairs, without iterating?

In most cases, when you use a for-in loop, you could also use map() with a lambda function on iterables. Find more information here: https://www.python-kurs.eu/lambda.php

Yes Zen, I want to access the key-value pairs, without iterating.
