Convert Dictionary to List in Python

In Python, a dictionary stores key-value pairs. Sometimes you need to convert its keys or values into lists. This is done with the keys() and values() methods combined with the list() function.

• list(my_dict.keys()) creates a list of all keys.
• list(my_dict.values()) creates a list of all values.

Example:

my_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}
keys_list = list(my_dict.keys())
values_list = list(my_dict.values())

Output:

list of keys: ['a', 'b', 'c']
list of values: [1, 2, 3]

You can also use the items() method to get both keys and values as tuples in a list.
