I have a File GDB that has domains and coded values. I would like to extract those values from the GDB and build a dictionary. For example:
I have hundreds of domains and with each domain has a set of coded values associated with it.
*Domain* , *Coded Value*
['tree', 'pine']
['tree', 'magnolia']
['tree', 'fir']
['tree', 'grey pine']
['tree', 'oak']
['soil', 'clay']
['soil', 'loam']
['soil', 'sandy']
['brush', 'manz']
['brush', 'short']
['water', 'wetland']
['water', 'lake']
etc.....
I want this:
{'tree': ['pine', 'magnolia', 'fir', 'grey pine']}
{'soil': ['clay', 'loam', 'sandy']}
{'brush': ['manz', 'short']}
{'water': ['wetland', 'lake']}
How do i accomplish this by using arcpy.da.ListDomains? This is what I have so far:
import arcpy
doms = arcpy.da.ListDomains(gdb)
for dom in doms:
if dom.domainType == 'CodedValue':
codedvalues = dom.codedValues
for code1 in codedvalues:
list1 = []
c_data = "{},{}".format(dom.name, code1)
domain2 = c_data.split(",")[0]
code2 = c_data.split(",")[1]
list1 = [domain2, code2]
print list1 #this prints out the first code block shown above
{'tree': 'pine', 'magnolia', 'fir', 'grey pine'}isn't a dictionary. A dictionary is{Key: Value}, so you'd probably need a list to record the values e.g.{'tree': ['pine', 'magnolia', 'fir', 'grey pine']}to make it how you're suggesting – Midavalo 6 hours ago.append()on it. – PolyGeo♦ 5 hours ago
