Makin' a Shexy `dict`

#Motivation

I was getting fed up with the usual, list of keys, looping through, and assigning a value to the key... I wanted something a little shexxier using Python's map functionality.

Here's what I came up with

##Makin' a Sexy Dict

the_code.py

    In [57]: keys = ['a', 'b', 'c']
    
    In [58]: vals = [[1, 2, 3], [3, 2, 1], ['yes', 'no', 'maybe']]
   
    #Normal method
    In [59]: bland_dict = {}
    In [60]: for i, key in enumerate(keys):
       ...:      bland_dict[key] = vals[i]
    
    #result
    In [61]: bland_dict
    Out[61]: {'a': [1, 2, 3], 'b': [3, 2, 1], 'c': ['yes', 'no', 'maybe']}

    #Shexshy dict
    In [62]: shexy_dict = dict(map(lambda x, y: [x, y], keys, map(lambda x: x, vals)))
 
    In [64]: shexy_dict
    Out[64]: {'a': [1, 2, 3], 'b': [3, 2, 1], 'c': ['yes', 'no', 'maybe']}
