Create a dictionary with comprehension

Can I use list comprehension syntax to create a dictionary? For example, by iterating over pairs of keys and values: d = {... for k, v in zip(keys, values)}
Use a dict comprehension (Python 2.7 and later): {key: value for key, value in zip(keys, values)} Alternatively, use the dict constructor: pairs = [('a', 1), ('b', 2)] dict(pairs) # → {'a': 1, 'b': 2} dict((k, v + 10) for k, v in pairs) # → {'a': 11, 'b': 12} Given separate lists of keys and values, use the dict constructor with zip: keys = ['a', 'b'] values = [1, 2] dict(zip(keys, values)) # → {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
