python dictionary string operations

Question

Currently I have my data in a directory

myDict = {'a':'Andy','b':'Bill','c':'Carly' }

I want to achieve something like

input = a --> output = Andy

input = ab --> output = Andy Bill

input = abc --> output = Andy Bill Carly

How can I do that ? Please help me

Iterate through the individual letters of the input string.
Look up each item in the dictionary.
Concatenate the results as you go.

Can you handle each of those capabilities? If not, please post your best attempt and a description of the problem.

Thank you for comment. I want you to give this output: isim giriniz: ab çıktı: Ankara Bursa Or; isim giriniz: ac çıktı: Ankara Ceyhan – DAA Oct 25 '17 at 23:55

isim is not a function, and all you need to do is access that key in the dictionary

def girdi_al():
    isim = input("isim giriniz: ")
    return isim

def isim_donustur(isim):
    cikti = isim

    donusum = {'a':'Ankara','b':'Bursa','c':'Ceyhan'}

    #How can I do?
    result = []
    for letter in cikti:
        result.append(donusum[cikti])
    print(' '.join(result))


def main():
    isim_donustur(girdi_al)

# === main ===
main()

I think you misunderstood the question, what if `isim` is equal to `'abc'`? Your code doesn't handle multiple keys. – user_ Oct 25 '17 at 23:50
@GBlomqvist oh that was embarassing. Thank you for pointing it out. Modified the code now. – yash Oct 25 '17 at 23:53

def girdi_al():
    isim = input("isim giriniz: ")
    return isim

def isim_donustur(isim):
    cikti = isim()

    donusum = {'a':'Ankara','b':'Bursa','c':'Ceyhan'}

    string = ''

    for char in cikti:
        string += donusum[char] + ' '

    print(string )

def main():
    isim_donustur(girdi_al)

# === main ===
main()

somthing like this

myDict = {'a':'Andy','b':'Bill','c':'Carly' }
input_str = "abc"

" ".join([v for k,v in myDict.items() if k in list(input_str)])
