Question

How can I create a dictionary out of the a in python?

If I have a list like this:

a = ["Albert Einstein", "Nils Bohr"]

And I want it to become this:

b = {'Albert Eienstein': ['Albert', 'Eienstein'], 'Neils Bohr': ['Neils', 'Bohr']}

Answer 1

lista = ["Albert Eienstein","Neils Bohr"]
dictb = {}
for elem in lista:
    dictb[elem] = elem.split(' ')

print dictb

Output: {'Neils Bohr': ['Neils', 'Bohr'], 'Albert Eienstein': ['Albert', 'Eienstein']}
