How to strip part of a string in dictionary key

I have a dictionary like this:

{'Country - USA': 'Approved',
'Country - Italy': 'Approved'}

I want to remove the from it Country - string.
The output should be:

{'USA':'Approved',
'Italy':'Approved'}

I tried to use dict.items() somehow but I didn’t succeed

>Solution :

You’re on the right trail with dict.items(). Here’s a dictionary comprehension that will get you what you want:

d = {'Country - USA': 'Approved', 'Country - Italy': 'Approved'}
new = {key.split()[-1]:value for key, value in d.items()}
print(new)

outputs:

{'USA': 'Approved', 'Italy': 'Approved'}

We’re taking the value of each key, splitting it on whitespace (the default argument), and taking the last piece. Of course, this will only work if the country has a 1-word name.

Another option is to simply remove "Country - ":

{key.lstrip("Country - "):value for key, value in d.items()}

or you can go by index:

{key[10:]:value for key, value in d.items()}
