You can also do this with the dict() syntax
dict(a = 1, b = 2, c = 3)
which I find a lot more readable than
{ 'a' : 1, 'b' : 2, 'c' : 3 }
In a lot of circumstances.
The syntax isn't so great when you set things which aren't valid
keywords though...
eg
{ (1,2,3) : 'a', (4,5,6) : 'b' }
vs
dict([ ((1,2,3), 'a'), ((4,5,6), 'b') ])
