How to get all subsets of a dictionary in python?

itertools_combinations_dict.py

from itertools import combinations
from typing import List

def subsets(the_dict: dict) -> List[dict]:
    subsets_as_tuples = [] 
    dict_as_tuple = the_dict.items()
    # We start from 1 in the range since list(combinations(some_dict, 0)) returns an empty list
    for i in range(1, len(the_dict) + 1):
        subsets_as_tuples.extend(list(combinations(dict_as_tuple, i)))
    print(subsets_as_tuples)
    # prints 
    # [(('a', 1),),
    #  (('b', 2),),
    #  (('c', 3),),
    #  (('a', 1), ('b', 2)),
    #  (('a', 1), ('c', 3)),
    #  (('b', 2), ('c', 3)),
    #  (('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3))]
    return [dict(key_sublist_list) for key_sublist_list in subsets_as_tuples]

x = dict(a=1, b=2, c=3)

subsets(x)
# returns
# [{'a': 1},
#  {'b': 2},
#  {'c': 3},
#  {'a': 1, 'b': 2},
#  {'a': 1, 'c': 3},
#  {'b': 2, 'c': 3},
#  {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}]
