Turning a list of dictionaries into a single larger dictionary

Maybe this is a simple question, but I’ve been scratching my head on it.

How do I turn a list of several dictionaries into a single dictionary containing all values?

This is what I mean:

input_list = [
    {'fruit': 'banana',
     'color1': ''},
    {'vegetable': 'tomato',
     'color2': ''},
    {'dessert': 'ice cream',
     'taste': ''}
]

desired_output = {
    'fruit': 'banana',
    'color1': '',
    'vegetable': 'tomato',
    'color2': '',
    'dessert': 'ice cream',
    'taste': ''
}

Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

>Solution :

Use this:

output = {key:value for element in input_list for key, value in element.items()}

Output:

{'fruit': 'banana',
 'color1': '',
 'vegetable': 'tomato',
 'color2': '',
 'dessert': 'ice cream',
 'taste': ''}
