How to combine two lists into a dictionary

[jettam]

I have two lists that I want to combine into a dictionary, one list for keys, and the other for value.  Could someone help me with this. 

for example :

holder=[]

occurences=[]

dict={[key]:[values]}

[jettam]

I thought I figured it out with this :

combine = dict(zip(holder, occurences) )

But I get this error

# Error: 'dict' object is not callable

# Traceback (most recent call last):

#   File "<maya console>", line 1, in <module>

# TypeError: 'dict' object is not callable #

Oh. Don't shadow the built in dict() of you plan to use it later. Call your variable something else.

you can do the following.

keys = ['k1', 'k2', 'k3']

data = ['d1', 'd2', 'd3']

newDict = {k:d for k,d in zip(keys, data)}
