Hi Given x,y are a lists of keys and value that I wish to combine to a dictionary, such that x[n] is the key for value y[n], which is preferred:
z = {a:b for (a,b) in zip(x,y)} z = {x[n]:y[n] for n in range(min(len(x),len(y)))} The zip feels more elegant, but it seems clunky to use the zip method to create a list of tuples just to split them up into key:value pairs. However the zip method handles the inequal length list problem. Granted it would probably be advisable to check that x and y are the same length before starting anyway. -- Denis McMahon, denismfmcma...@gmail.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
