How do you create a dictionary with keys and values from two different lists?

We can use the zip built-in function to stitch the lists and then pass it to the dict constructor to build a dictionary.

Note that the zip function doesn't return a list in python 3.x instead it returns a zip object reference which can be passed to the list and tuple constructors to create a list and tuple respectively. In python 2.x however, it returns a list.
