Python's dict.items() method returns a view object displaying the key/value pairs of a dictionary as a list of tuples.
NOTE
View objects provide a dynamic view on the dictionary’s entries, which means that when the dictionary changes, the view objects reflect these changes.
Parameters
No parameters.
Return value
A view object displaying the key/value pairs of the dictionary as a list of tuples.
Examples
Basic usage
To return a view object displaying the key/value pairs of scores dictionary:
scores = {'Andrew': 77, 'Matt': 80, 'Bob': 90}scores.items()
dict_items([('Andrew', 77), ('Matt', 80), ('Bob', 90)])
Dynamic behavior
To check whether the returned view object reflects the newly added key 'Ben':
Original Items: dict_items([('Andrew', 77), ('Matt', 80), ('Bob', 90)])Updated Items: dict_items([('Andrew', 77), ('Matt', 80), ('Bob', 90), ('Ben', 99)])
We can see the returned view object now includes the newly added key/value pair of 'Ben': 99.
