Python Dictionary Comprehension

Question

Is it possible to create a dictionary comprehension in Python (for the keys)?

Without list comprehensions, you can use something like this:

l = []
fo         


        

Answer 1

I really like the @mgilson comment, since if you have a two iterables, one that corresponds to the keys and the other the values, you can also do the following.

keys = ['a', 'b', 'c']
values = [1, 2, 3]
d = dict(zip(keys, values))

giving

d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}
