Is there a fast way to generate a dict of the alphabet in Python?

Question

I want to generate a dict with the letters of the alphabet as the keys, something like

letter_count = {\'a\': 0, \'b\': 0, \'c\': 0}

what

Answer 1

My variant :

Note : range A-Z in unicode => 65-90 (decimal)

d = dict.fromkeys([chr(j) for j in range(65, 90)], 0)
print(d)

OUTPUT :

>>> {'A': 0, 'B': 0, 'C': 0, 'D': 0, 'E': 0, 'F': 0, 'G': 0, 'H': 0, 'I': 0, 'J': 0, 'K': 0, 'L': 0, 'M': 0, 'N': 0, 'O': 0, 'P': 0, 'Q': 0, 'R': 0, 'S': 0, 'T': 0, 'U': 0, 'V': 0, 'W': 0, 'X': 0, 'Y': 0}
