Python regroup item in dictionary

Question

I want to make a dictionary by splitting another dictionary items by space.

Suppose a dictionary:

"['paris', 'paris', 'marseille', 'marseille', 'marseille', 'paris', 'paris', 'paris', 'lille', 'marseille', 'toulouse', 'marseille', 'lille', 'mont saint martin', 'mont de marsan', 'lyon', 'lyon', 'lille', 'lille', 'lyon']"

and I want to have

['paris', 'paris', 'marseille', 'marseille', 'marseille', 'paris', 'paris', 'paris', 'lille', 'marseille', 'toulouse', 'marseille', 'lille', 'mont', 'saint', 'martin', 'mont', 'de', 'marsan', 'lyon', 'lyon', 'lille', 'lille', 'lyon']

How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

Try this-

>>> li = ['paris', 'paris', 'marseille', 'marseille', 'marseille', 'paris', 'paris', 'paris', 'lille', 'marseille', 'toulouse', 'marseille', 'lille', 'mont saint martin', 'mont de marsan', 'lyon', 'lyon', 'lille', 'lille', 'lyon']
>>> [c for e in li for c in e.split(" ")]   

OUTPUT:

['paris', 'paris', 'marseille', 'marseille', 'marseille', 'paris', 'paris', 'paris', 'lille', 'marseille', 'toulouse', 'marseille', 'lille', 'mont', 'saint', 'martin', 'mont', 'de', 'marsan', 'lyon', 'lyon', 'lille', 'lille', 'lyon']
