Why not both?? I think you have a logic problem that's not shown in that code sample: >>> sst = ['doctors', 'patient'] >>> sstp = ['prescriptions', 'prescriptions'] >>> zip(sst,sstp) [('doctors', 'prescriptions'), ('patient', 'prescriptions')] >>> dict(zip(sst,sstp)) {'patient': 'prescriptions', 'doctors': 'prescriptions'} >>> --S
