I want to combine these:
keys = ['name', 'age', 'food'] values = ['Monty', 42, 'spam']
Into a single dictionary:
{'name': 'Monty', 'age': 42, 'food': 'spam'}

Like this:
keys = ['a', 'b', 'c'] values = [1, 2, 3] dictionary = dict(zip(keys, values)) print(dictionary) # {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}
Voila :-) The pairwise dict
constructor and zip
function are awesomely useful.
