python - How to sort a dict by values and return a list of formatted strings? -

i've got dict:

text_to_count = { "text1": 1, "text2":0, "text3":2} 

i'd create list of formatted strings sorting dict's values (in descending order).

i.e., following list:

result = ["2 - text3", "1 - text1", "0 - text2"] 

any ideas?

edit:

while waiting responses, kept hacking @ , came with:

result = map(lambda x: "{!s} - {!s}".format(x[1], x[0]),                         sorted(text_to_count.iteritems(),                         key = lambda(k, v): (v, k), reverse=true )) 

tho i'm still interested in seeing other solutions there are, possibly 1 better.

how's this?

result = ['{1} - {0}'.format(*pair) pair in sorted(text_to_count.iteritems(), key = lambda (_,v): v, reverse = true)]
