Thanks for the thoughts!

In this case I am reading in data from a SQL database query(pymssql) and feeding it into an excel spreedsheet (xlwt) Line by line which means I have to assemble the dict line by line.

And yes, the name i chose in the email to represent what I was doing was generic. THe one I am actually using is representative of the data its holding! :) as apposed to a generic word which could actually be a keyword!

And Yes yes, Theres quite a lot of data. Many of these query returns have 3000 rows of data!

Regards,
David

You can also use the dict() function or dictionary comprehensions to
create your dictionary:
  item = dict( (key, value) for key, value in list )


Otherwise written:
 item = dict(list)
