Hi,

If I want to create a dictionary from a list, is there a better way than the 
long line below?

l = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 'a', 8, 'b']

d = dict(zip([l[x] for x in range(len(l)) if x %2 == 0], [l[x] for x in 
range(len(l)) if x %2 == 1]))
d = dict(zip(l[0::2], l[1::2]))

Or, using the "grouper" function recipe from the itertools documentation:

d = dict(grouper(2, l))

Cheers,
Ian

The grouper-way looks nice, but I tried it and it didn't work:

from itertools import *
...
d = dict(grouper(2, l))

NameError: name 'grouper' is not defined

I use Python 2.7. Should it work with this version?

A last one:

l = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 'a', 8, 'b']
dict((x[1],x[0]) for x in ((l.pop(),l.pop()) for x in xrange(len(l)/2)))
