A couple similar options:


The most straightforward translation of your description:

  opt1 = dict(zip(keysList, valuesList))
  print(opt1["2"])

And one where you generate the strings on the fly:

  opt2 = dict((str(i), i) for i in range(1, 4))
  print(opt2["2"])

And one where you use the int() function instead of a mapping because
the whole idea of storing a dict worth of string-numbers-to-numbers
seems somewhat silly to me:

  print(int("2"))

dict(zip(keysList, valuesList))

fast dictionary initialization

[maurice]

Hi. If I have already a list of values, let's call it valuesList and the 
keysList, both same sized lists, what is the easiest/quickest way to initialize 
a dictionary with those keys and list, in terms of number of lines perhaps?

example:
valuesList = [1,2,3]
keysList   = ['1','2','3']

So the dictionary can basically convert string to int:

dictionary = {'1':1, '2':2, '3':3}

Thanks
