I have a program that stores data in a list. The current and desired output is in the format:

# Current Input
[{'Devices': ['laptops', 'tablets'],'ParentCategory': ['computers', 'computers']},{'Devices': ['touch'], 'ParentCategory': ['phones']}]# Desired Output
[{'Devices': ['laptops', 'tablets','touch'],'ParentCategory': ['computers', 'computers','phones']}]    

Can you give me an idea on how to combine the lists with another python line of code or logic to get the desired output?

You can do something like this:

def convert(a):d = {}for x in a:for key,val in x.items():if key not in d:d[key] = []d[key] += valreturn d

Code above is for Python 3.

If you're on Python 2.7, then I believe that you should replace items with iteritems.
