Python Touples – Keep only the largest value if First item is found duplicate

I have a python list of touples like this:

touple = [('Northwest Airlines', 93), 
         ('Northwest Airlines', 81), 
         ('Southwest Airlines', 79), 
         ('NorthWestern', 77), 
         ('NorthWestern', 69), 
         ('Southwest Airlines', 69)]

Several of these items are duplicate. I want to keep only unique Touples having the largest value as the 2nd item.

The output I want to achieve is like this:

processed_touple = [('Northwest Airlines', 93),                      
                   ('Southwest Airlines', 79), 
                   ('NorthWestern', 77)]

What is the easiest way to achieve this ?

>Solution :

dic = {}

for item in touple:
    name, score = item
    if name not in dic:
        dic[name] = score
    else:
        if score > dic[name]:
            dic[name] = score
        

print(list(dic.items()))

output:

[('Northwest Airlines', 93), ('Southwest Airlines', 79), ('NorthWestern', 77)]
