How to Change All Key Names in Your Python Dictionary Using Regex

Working with dictionaries in Python can sometimes be challenging, especially when it comes to formatting the keys. A common task developers face is converting the keys to a specific naming convention. In this guide, we will explore how to rename keys in a Python dictionary from a spaced format to a camelCase format efficiently.

The Problem Statement

Let's say you have a dictionary with keys like this:

As you can see, the spaces are removed, and the first letter of each subsequent word is capitalized.

The Solution

To achieve this transformation, we can utilize Python's powerful re (regular expression) module. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution:

Step 1: Import the Required Module

First, ensure that you import the regex module:
