I have a file comprising two columns, i.e.,
1 a
2 b
3 c
I wish to read this file to a dictionary such that column 1 is the key and column 2 is the value, i.e.,
d = {1:'a', 2:'b', 3:'c'}
The file is small, so efficiency is not an issue.
d = {}
with open("file.txt") as f:
for line in f:
(key, val) = line.split()
d[int(key)] = val
