The word you want is "dictionary" or "dict", not directory.
Here's one slow, boring, manual way:
a = ["x", "z"]
b = [1, 2]
c = {}
c[a[0]] = b[0]
c[a[1]] = b[1]
You can turn that into a loop:
c = {}
for index in range( min(len(a), len(b)) ):
c[a[i]] = b[i]
Here's the sensible way that makes Python do all the heavy lifting:
c = dict(zip(a, b))
