Converting two lists to a list of dictionaries in Python

Question

I have two lists for example like this: ``` L = [1, 2] S = ['B', 'C'] ``` How can I get them to be combined into a dictionary like this: ``` X = {'B': 1, 'C': 2} ``` The lists will always be the same length, but can have any amount of items.

Accepted Answer

It's a one-liner:

```
dict(zip(S, L))
```
