Accessing Python datastructure

Question

In my Flask application, I receive the following data structure:

{"privMap":{"privKeys":["it","de"],"privValues":["Ciao","Hallo"]}}

which is sent by a JavaScript code (where I can access single pairs for example with translations.get('it');). How can I loop through this data structure in Python?

Sure. Thank you for asking. It was a structure I have never handled before in Python. But having seen the answer of Pouya, I should have come to the solution myself. — Kelly o'Brian

Use zip() to pair two lists and get tuples.

data  ={"privMap":{"privKeys":["it","de"],"privValues":["Ciao","Hallo"]}}

privKeys = data['privMap']['privKeys']
privValues = data['privMap']['privValues']

for item in zip(privKeys, privValues):
    print(item)

And this is the result:

('it', 'Ciao')
('de', 'Hallo')
