how to add key and turn dictonary key to value?

Question

I have dictionary like this:

a = {"RAM": ["25GB", "256GB"], "Storage":  ["25GB"]}

and is there any possible way to make dictionary like this?

wanted_dict = [{"title":"RAM", "items":["25GB", "256GB"]}, {"title":"Storage", "items":["25GB"]}]

i tried to do with for loop but with no result. any advices?

Your result is actually a list, you can achieve this using the following syntax: wanted_dict = [{"title": key, "items": value} for key, value in a.items()]. Where a is the name of your dictionary. — Thijs van Ede

a = {"RAM": ["25GB", "256GB"], "Storage":  ["25GB"]}
list_a = [{'title': key, 'items': values} for key, values in a.items()]

From what I can understand you want to convert the value of a to the value of wanted_dict without hard-coding it. If so, here's the code:

a = {"RAM": ["25GB", "256GB"], "Storage":  ["25GB"]}
b = []

for key in a:
    entry = {"title": key, "items": a[key]}
    b.append(entry)

print(b)

So then you could do:

a = b
