two Lists to Json Format in python

Question

I have two lists

a=["USA","France","Italy"]
b=["10","5","6"]

I want the end result to be in json like this.

[{"country":"USA","wins":"10"},
{"country":"France","wins":"5"},
{"country":"Italy","wins":"6"},
]

I used zip(a,b) to join two but couldn't name it

Answer 1

Using list comprehension:

>>> [{'country': country, 'wins': wins} for country, wins in zip(a, b)]
[{'country': 'USA', 'wins': '10'},
 {'country': 'France', 'wins': '5'},
 {'country': 'Italy', 'wins': '6'}]

Use json.dumps to get JSON:

>>> json.dumps(
...     [{'country': country, 'wins': wins} for country, wins in zip(a, b)]
... )
'[{"country": "USA", "wins": "10"}, {"country": "France", "wins": "5"}, {"country": "Italy", "wins": "6"}]'
