Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: Python 2.6 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: George Sakkis (gsakkis) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: dict(key,values) initializer Initial Comment: Far too often I use the idiom dict(zip(keys,values)), or the same with izip. How does letting dict take two positional arguments sound ? Pros: - Pretty obvious semantics, no mental overhead to learn and remember it. - More concise (especially if one imports itertools just to use izip). - At least as efficient (and probably more) as the current alternatives. - Backwards compatible.
