Inverts a dictionary with non-unique hashable values:
Example:
def tips_collect_dictionary(obj): inv_obj = {} for key, value in obj.items(): inv_obj.setdefault(value, list()).append(key) return inv_obj ages = { "Owen": 25, "Jhon": 25, "Pepe": 15, } print(tips_collect_dictionary(ages))
Output:
{25: ['Owen', 'Jhon'], 15: ['Pepe']}
