Prefect Community

Hey folks :wave:
I tried mapping over the entries of a `dict` , but got the following error:
```At least one upstream state has an unmappable result.```
Looking at the docs, it seems that `map` should work with an `Iterable` .
Afaik, `dict` is an `Iterable` in Python, so I’m a bit confused :sweat_smile:

I’m using Prefect `0.15.16`

I am passing two arguments:
• a dict (the object on which the mapping should be applied)
• another `unmapped` object

Mapping works with *lists* - you could map over a list of dictionaries, but not over dictionaries

I don't think dict is an iterable, but `dict.items()`  is

Thanks for the suggestions folks, much appreciated as usual! :raised_hands: :pray: :gratitude-thank-you:

I think the easiest would be to map over:
```list(your_dict.values())```

one task could return the above based on dict as input and pass it to the task doing mapping - just one possibility among many

<@U019RALEAUW> I can confirm it must be a list actually, returning just sample_dict.values() would fail but wrapping it with list() works:
```import prefect
from prefect import task, Flow


@task
def get_iterable():
    sample_dict = dict(a=1, b=2, c=3)
    return list(sample_dict.values())
    # return sample_dict.values()


@task
def log_output(x):
    <http://prefect.context.logger.info|prefect.context.logger.info>(x)


with Flow("map_dict_test") as flow:
    iterable_input_from_dict = get_iterable()
    log_output.map(iterable_input_from_dict)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    flow.run()```
