[Solved] Python Combining Dictionary of A List having Same Characteristics

Not beautiful solution, but working one

values = [{'id': 1, 'x': 2}, {'id': 1, 'y': 4}, {'id': 1, 'z': 6},
          {'id': 2, 'j': 5},
          {'id': 2, 'k': 10}, {'id': 3, 'w': 1}, {'id': 3, 'x': 3},
          {'id': 3, 'y': 5}, {'id': 3, 'z': 7}]

# get all unique possible keys
unique_keys = set((x['id'] for x in values))
result = []
for value in unique_keys:
    new_dict = dict(id=value)
    for old_dict in values:
        if old_dict['id'] == value:
            new_dict.update(old_dict)
    result.append(new_dict)
print(result)

The printed result:

{'id': 1, 'z': 6, 'x': 2, 'y': 4}, {'j': 5, 'id': 2, 'k': 10}, {'x': 3, 'y': 5, 'id': 3, 'w': 1, 'z': 7}]
