Create a dictionary with list comprehension

Question

I like the Python list comprehension syntax.

Can it be used to create dictionaries too? For example, by iterating over pairs of keys and values:

mydi         


        

Answer 1

This code will create dictionary using list comprehension for multiple lists with different values that can be used for pd.DataFrame()

#Multiple lists 
model=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D']
launched=[1983,1984,1984,1984]
discontinued=[1986, 1985, 1984, 1986]

#Dictionary with list comprehension
keys=['model','launched','discontinued']
vals=[model, launched,discontinued]
data = {key:vals[n] for n, key in enumerate(keys)}

enumerate will pass n to vals to match each key with its list
