Question

Imagine I have these python lists:

keys = ['name', 'age'] values = ['Monty', 42, 'Matt', 28, 'Frank', 33] 

Is there a direct or at least a simple way to produce the following list of dictionaries ?

[     {'name': 'Monty', 'age': 42},     {'name': 'Matt',  'age': 28},     {'name': 'Frank', 'age': 33} ]

Here is the zip way

def mapper(keys, values):     n = len(keys)     return [dict(zip(keys, values[i:i + n]))             for i in range(0, len(values), n)]
