How to convert a list into a dictionary in python?

Question

I have a list of objects:

[\'fb_ads_sm\', \'Active\', \'18 hr ago\', \'23\', \'sm_sg13\', \'Pending\', \'12 hr         


        

Answer 1

You can try to use dict comprehension with list slicing

a = ['fb_ads_sm', 'Active', '18 hr ago', '23', 'sm_sg13', 'Pending', '12 hr ago']
{k: v for k, v in zip(a[::4], a[1::4])}

OR

dict(zip(a[::4], a[1::4]))

Output

{'fb_ads_sm': 'Active', 'sm_sg13': 'Pending'}
