String of Dictionary keys

I am having a dictionary :-

test_list = {"fname":"eoin","dob":"10/12/1992"}

As this is just a sample dictionary but in my case the items of dictionary is dynamic it could be of any length. So I expect to create a string in this format

result = "fname : {fname} , dob: {dob}".format(**test_list)

As I would need this for my other purpose. I don't know how to do this.

Simple dict's string representation:

test_dict = {"fname":"eoin","dob":"10/12/1992","abc": 123}
res = ', '.join('{}: {}'.format(k, v) for k,v in test_dict.items())
print(res)

The output:

fname: eoin, dob: 10/12/1992, abc: 123

One approach is to use str() with str.strip

Ex:

test_dict = {"fname":"eoin","dob":"10/12/1992"}
print(str(test_dict).strip("{}").replace("'", "").replace('"', ""))

Output:

fname: eoin, dob: 10/12/1992

Try using this code:

print(str(test_list)[1:-1].replace("'", ""))

Output:

fname: eoin, dob: 10/12/1992
