[python] Check key exist in python dict

Below is the file output:

apples:20
orange:100

Below is the code:

d = {}
with open('test1.txt') as f:
    for line in f:
        if ":" not in line:
                continue
        key, value = line.strip().split(":", 1)
        d[key] = value

for k, v in d.iteritems():
    if k == 'apples':
         v = v.strip()
         if v == 20:
             print "Apples are equal to 20"
         else:
             print "Apples may have greater than or less than 20"   
    if k == 'orrange':
         v = v.strip()
         if v == 20:
            print "orange are equal to 100"
         else:
            print "orange may have greater than or less than 100"

In above code i am written "if k == 'orrange':", but its actually "orange" as per output file.

In this case I have to print orrange key is not exist in output file. Please help me. How to do this

Use the in keyword.

if 'apples' in d:
    if d['apples'] == 20:
        print('20 apples')
    else:
        print('Not 20 apples')

If you want to get the value only if the key exists (and avoid an exception trying to get it if it doesn't), then you can use the get function from a dictionary, passing an optional default value as the second argument (if you don't pass it it returns None instead):

if d.get('apples', 0) == 20:
    print('20 apples.')
else:
    print('Not 20 apples.')
