Best way? Depends on what you mean by "best".
My solution:
Z = ', '.join(i+':'+str(j) for i, j in zip(X,Y))
It's interesting to note how close your output is to a dictionary display:
dict(zip(X,Y)) -> {'a': 1, 'c': 3, 'b': 2, 'e': 5, 'd': 4}
BTW is is customary in Python to start variable names with lower case
letters (x,y,z) in this case.
Title case is then used for Classes
CAPS is used for CONSTANTS
