Are you sure that'll work ? Is creating a dict from a sequence guaranteed

It is nowhere mentioned in Docs IIRC but I have never seen any counter
example.
Actually it is guaranteed.
From the documentation of "dict":
"The elements of the argument must each also be of one of those kinds,
and each must in turn contain exactly two objects. The first is used
as a key in the new dictionary, and the second as the key’s value. If
a given key is seen more than once, the last value associated with it
is retained in the new dictionary."
Nice ! Thanks for digging that out Navin ! Anand's solution is really the most
elegant.
cheers,
