Python: Convert list to dictionary with indexes as values

Question

I am trying to convert the following list:

list = [\'A\',\'B\',\'C\']

To a dictionary like:

dict = {\'A\':0, \'B\':1, \'C\'         


        

Answer 1

Use built-in functions dict and zip :

>>> lst = ['A','B','C']
>>> dict(zip(lst,range(len(lst))))
