[FIXED] How to merge multiple dicts with same key or different key?

Issue

I have multiple dicts/key-value pairs like this:

d1 = {key1: x1, key2: y1}  
d2 = {key1: x2, key2: y2}  

I want the result to be a new dict (in most efficient way, if possible):

d = {key1: (x1, x2), key2: (y1, y2)}  

Actually, I want result d to be:

d = {key1: (x1.x1attrib, x2.x2attrib), key2: (y1.y1attrib, y2.y2attrib)}  

If somebody shows me how to get the first result, I can figure out the rest.

Solution

assuming all keys are always present in all dicts:

ds = [d1, d2]
d = {}
for k in d1.iterkeys():
    d[k] = tuple(d[k] for d in ds)

Note: In Python 3.x use below code:

ds = [d1, d2]
d = {}
for k in d1.keys():
  d[k] = tuple(d[k] for d in ds)

and if the dic contain numpy arrays:

ds = [d1, d2]
d = {}
for k in d1.keys():
  d[k] = np.concatenate(list(d[k] for d in ds))
