python中字典的键是唯一的吗,python字典中的多个键可以吗？

I'd like to build a dictionary in python in which different keys refer to the same element. I have this dictionary:

persons = {"George":'G.MacDonald', "Luke":'G.MacDonald', "Larry":'G.MacDonald'}

the key refer all to an identical string but the strings have different memory location inside the program, I'd like to make a dictionary in which all these keys refer to the same element, is that possible?

You could do something like:

import itertools as it

unique_dict = {}

value_key=lambda x: x[1]

sorted_items = sorted(your_current_dict.items(), key=value_key)

for value, group in it.groupby(sorted_items, key=value_key):

for key in group:

unique_dict[key] = value

This transforms your dictionary into a dictionary where equal values of any kind(but comparable) are unique. If your values are not comparable(but are hashable) you could use a temporary dict:

from collections import defaultdict

unique_dict = {}

tmp_dict = defaultdict(list)

for key, value in your_current_dict.items():

tmp_dict[value].append(key)

for value, keys in tmp_dict.items():

unique_dict.update(zip(keys, [value] * len(keys)))
