compare two list of dictionaries

[Mohan L]

Dear All,

I have two list of dictionaries like below:

In the below dictionaries the value of ip can be either hostname or ip
address.

output1=[
{'count': 3 , 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.1'},
{'count': 4, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.2'},
{'count': 8, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.3'},
{'count': 10, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.4'},
{'count': 212, 'ip': 'hostname1'},
{'count': 27, 'ip': 'hostname2'},
{'count': 513, 'ip': 'hostname3'},
{'count': 98, 'ip': 'hostname4'},
{'count': 1, 'ip': 'hostname10'},
{'count': 2, 'ip': 'hostname8'},
{'count': 3, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.11'},
{'count': 90, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.12'},
{'count': 12, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.13'},
{'count': 21, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.14'},
{'count': 54, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.15'},
{'count': 34, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.16'},
{'count': 11, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.17'},
{'count': 2, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.18'},
{'count': 19, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.19'},
{'count': 21, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.20'},
{'count': 25, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.21'},
{'count': 31, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.22'},
{'count': 43, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.23'},
{'count': 46, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.24'},
{'count': 80, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.25'},
{'count': 91, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.26'},
{'count': 90, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.27'},
{'count': 10, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.28'},
{'count': 3, 'ip': 'xxx.xx.xxx.29'}]


In the below dictionaries have either hostname or ip or both.

output2=(

{'hostname': 'INNCHN01', 'ip_addr': 'xxx.xx.xxx.11'},
{'hostname': 'HYDRHC02', 'ip_addr': 'xxx.xx.xxx.12'},
{'hostname': 'INNCHN03', 'ip_addr': 'xxx.xx.xxx.13'},
{'hostname': 'MUMRHC01', 'ip_addr': 'xxx.xx.xxx.14'},
{'hostname': 'n/a', 'ip_addr': 'xxx.xx.xxx.15'},
{'hostname': 'INNCHN05', 'ip_addr': 'xxx.xx.xxx.16'},
{'hostname': 'hostname1', 'ip_addr': 'n/a'},
{'hostname': 'hostname2', 'ip_addr': 'n/a'},
{'hostname': 'hostname10', 'ip_addr': ''},
{'hostname': 'hostname8', 'ip_addr': ''},
{'hostname': 'hostname200', 'ip_addr': 'xxx.xx.xxx.200'},
{'hostname': 'hostname300', 'ip_addr': 'xxx.xx.xxx.400'},

)

trying to get the following difference from the above dictionary

1). compare the value of 'ip' in output1 dictionary with either 'hostname'
and 'ip_addr' output2 dictionary and print their intersection. Tried below
code:


for doc in output1:
        for row in output2:
                if((row["hostname"] == doc["ip"]) or (row["ip_addr"] ==
doc["ip"])):
                        print doc["ip"],doc["count"]

*output:*
hostname1 212
hostname2 27
hostname10 1
hostname8 2
xxx.xx.xxx.11 3
xxx.xx.xxx.12 90
xxx.xx.xxx.13 12
xxx.xx.xxx.14 21
xxx.xx.xxx.15 54
xxx.xx.xxx.16 34

2). need to print the below output if the value of 'ip' in output1
dictionary is not there in in output2 dictionary(ip/hostname which is there
in output1 and not there in output2):

 xxx.xx.xxx.1 3
 xxx.xx.xxx.2 4
 xxx.xx.xxx.3  8
 xxx.xx.xxx.4  10
 hostname3  513
 hostname4  98
 xxx.xx.xxx.17  11
 xxx.xx.xxx.18  2
 xxx.xx.xxx.19  19
 xxx.xx.xxx.20  21
 xxx.xx.xxx.21  25
 xxx.xx.xxx.22  31
 xxx.xx.xxx.23  43
 xxx.xx.xxx.24  46
 xxx.xx.xxx.25  80
 xxx.xx.xxx.26  91
 xxx.xx.xxx.27  90
 xxx.xx.xxx.28  10
 xxx.xx.xxx.29  3

3). Ip address with is there only in output2 dictionary.

xxx.xx.xxx.200
xxx.xx.xxx.400

Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you

Thanks
