A couple similar options: The most straightforward translation of your description: opt1 = dict(zip(keysList, valuesList)) print(opt1["2"]) And one where you generate the strings on the fly: opt2 = dict((str(i), i) for i in range(1, 4)) print(opt2["2"]) And one where you use the int() function instead of a mapping because the whole idea of storing a dict worth of string-numbers-to-numbers seems somewhat silly to me: print(int("2")) -tkc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
