So, when you search google for the phrase "dict comprehension" or "dictionary comprehension", nothing useful comes up for you? When I search either of those phrases, I get lots of useful results, all of which spell out how to do what you were originally asking about. I know Google search results are skewed by past usage, but I'm surprised that you didn't find anything useful in the first couple of search results. When I do a search for 'dict comprehension' I get a boxed result linking to PEP 274 as the first hit, then two Stack Overflow questions, both of which demonstrate how to do dictionary comprehensions. Following that is another link to PEP 274, a link to the Python docs on data structures (which does talk about dict comprehensions, but it's way down on the page), and then links to a bunch of tutorials. If you had to judge based on my search results, Google does a fine job of answering python questions, at least when you already know the key phrase to look for. -- Jerry -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
