You people should really mark these things as "untested" if you aren't
going to bother actually producing a result that you can paste into your
window (or at least checking that your solution really provides the
answer the OP asked for).
Question: what's the difference between
dict((name, seq) for seq, name in enumerate(description))
(the improved version of my answer posted by Scott David Daniels) and
dict(enumerate(description))
