How to Group Json data based on Key and combine values under in Python?

Question

Have a json that contains structure as shown below: What I'm trying is to group and merge data based on 'name' , for example the two examples below have same name i.e 'abc', so they will get merged into a single collection and 'id' and 'nested prop' will be an array under the 'name' with two contents

 [{
"id" : [{"random" : "12345"}],
"name" : "abc",
"nestedprop" : {
    "malfunc" : [ 
        {
            "Info" : {
                "xyz" : [ 
                    {
                        "vamp" : "104531_0_46095",
                        "ramp" : {
                            "samp" : [ 
                                {
                                    "int" : 532,
                                }
                            ],
                        },
                        "class_unique_id" : "05451",
                    }
                ],

                },
                "session_id" : "42461920181213044516299872341"
            }
        },       
                      {
            "Info" : {
                "xyz" : [ 
                    {
                        "vamp" : "104531_0_46095",
                        "ramp" : {

                                {
                                    "int" : 5325,
                                }

                "session_id" : "42461920181213044516299872341"
            }
        },

   {

                        "ramp" : {

                                    "int" : 532,
                                }
                            ],
                        },
                        "class_unique_id" : "05451",
                    }
                ],
                "nati" : 39237,
                "apper" : 00,
                "supp" : {
                    "sess" : ""
                },
                "session_id" : "42461920181213044516299872341"
            }
        },
      {
            "Info" : {
                "xyz" : [ 
                    {
                        "vamp" : "104531_0_46095",
                        "ramp" : {
                            "samp" : [ 
                                {
                                    "int" : 532,
                                }
                            ],
                        },
                        "class_unique_id" : "05451",
                    }
                ],
                "nati" : 39237,
                "apper" : 00,
                "supp" : {
                    "sess" : ""
                },
                "session_id" : "42461920181213044516299872341"
            }
        },
    ]
  }
 }]

Expected Result:

[{
 "id" : {"0":[{"random" : "12345"}],"1":[{"random" : "12345"}]},
 "name" : "abc",
 "nestedprop" : {"0":[{"content from 1st obj"}],"1":[{"content from 1st obj"}]
 },
 {"id" : "0":[{"randsdaom" : "123sdas45"}]},
 "name" : "def",
 "nestedprop" : {"0":[{"content from 1st obj"}]}]

Note: I have achieved this using Mapreduce in Mongodb,however I wanted to try it out in Python

Your question statement is confusing. Mention your expected output. — Abdur Rehman

Your expected output is not correct. "id":{[{"random" : "12345"}],[{"asdad" : "63653"}]}, this is dictionary without any key, value pair, so correct it. — Abdur Rehman

There could be many other approaches but this one would give you desired results,

names = []
for dic in dictList:
    names.append(dic['name'])

# unique list of names
names = list(set(names))


results = []

for name in names:
    idx = 0
    ids = {}
    props = {}
    names = []
    for dic in dictList:
        dic_name = dic['name']
        if dic_name == name:
            ids[str(idx)] = dic['id']
            props[str(idx)] = dic['nestedprop']
            idx += 1
    result_dict = {"name": name,
                   "id": ids,
                   "nestedprop": props}     

    results.append(result_dict)

# result = json.dumps(result)  to convert back into double quotes ""  
results

Output:
