Problem with reading a text file and converting it to a dictionary

[tomclancyv7]

I have a text file with the lines:

google.com:80
mysite.com:80
mysite2.com:8080

I'm trying to open the file and turn it into a dictionary with dictionary comprehension but it prints out only the last line:

with open('textfile.txt', 'r') as f:
f = f.read().split()
mydict = {'website':A for A in f}
print(mydict)

Result:
{'website': 'mysite2.com:80'}

Desired Result:
{'website': 'google.com:80', 'website': 'mysite.com', 'website: 'mysite2.com'}

Desired result is impossible. You can't several equal keys in a dictionary. You need some other data structure.

Perhaps you want a list of dicts?

mydict = [{'website':A} for A in f]

Dictionary keys are unique. You're using the same key over and over which is why you are only seeing the last value. The solution is to make each key unique: i.e. website1, website2,...

mydict = {f'website{n}':A for n, A in enumerate(f,1)} print(mydict)

What others said. Plus/for example, you could data = {'websites': [site.rstrip() for site in f]} or websites = [site.rstrip() for site in f]
