How do I combine two lists into a dictionary in Python? [duplicate]

by 
dict(zip([1,2,3,4], [a,b,c,d]))

If the lists are big you should use itertools.izip.

If you have more keys than values, and you want to fill in values for the extra keys, you can use itertools.izip_longest.

Here, a, b, c, and d are variables — it will work fine (so long as they are defined), but you probably meant ['a','b','c','d'] if you want them as strings.

zip takes the first item from each iterable and makes a tuple, then the second item from each, etc. etc.

dict can take an iterable of iterables, where each inner iterable has two items — it then uses the first as the key and the second as the value for each item.
