python 3.x loop through an array find the repeating elements and sum them into a new element

hi i’ve been trying to find a way to find the sum of the repeating elements within an array.

I have this array of data and I would like to find a way to go through it and find the sum of the elements that are repeated.

data_set = [{'service_general_id': 46, 'service_general_qty': 1000.0}, {'service_general_id': 46, 'service_general_qty': 56000.0}, {'service_general_id': 44, 'service_general_qty': 56000.0}]

the result that I have in mind is something like this:

data_result = [{'service_general_id': 46, 'service_general_qty': 57000.0}, {'service_general_id': 44, 'service_general_qty': 56000.0}]

I’ve been trying to go through this way to find the repeats.

        for servicio in provisiones_originales_dict:
            k, v = servicio['servicio_general_id'], servicio['servicio_general_qty']

but I have not found the logic to find the repeated ones and add them in a result array

>Solution :

You can first create dict base on service_general_id as key then compute sum then convert to result dict like below:

>>> data_set = [{'service_general_id': 46, 'service_general_qty': 1000.0}, {'service_general_id': 46, 'service_general_qty': 56000.0}, {'service_general_id': 44, 'service_general_qty': 56000.0}]

>>> dct = {}
>>> for (key ,value) in (dct.values() for dct in data_set):
...    dct[key] = value + dct.get(key,0)
>>> dct
{46: 57000.0, 44: 56000.0}
    
>>> res = [{'service_general_id':key , 'service_general_qty':value} for key, value in dct.items()]
>>> res
[{'service_general_id': 46, 'service_general_qty': 57000.0},
 {'service_general_id': 44, 'service_general_qty': 56000.0}]
