Python venn package: what format should dataset_dict be?

Question

So I have several lists that contain ID numbers, let's suppose them to look like this:

list_a=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
list_b=[1,3,5,7,9]
list_c=[2,4,6,8,10]
list_d=[1,11,2,22,3,33]

My task is to visualize these lists as venn diagrams to show intersection of ID numbers. Thus, i decided to use venn package from python, which has following function:

venn(dataset_dict, **kwargs)

I tried to use it this way:

venn(dict({'List A':list_a, 'List B':list_b, 'List C':list_c, 'List D':list_d}))

But error below is occuring:

TypeError: Only dictionaries of sets are understood

I see that the problem is with 'dataset_dict', how can i improve it?

Answer 1

As the error implies, you are passing data with the wrong type. Your values in the dict passed to venn() are of type list, not set. You could do :

venn({'List A': set(list_a), ...})
