Python dict() to Jython in eclipse

[lee fair]

Does anyone know a simple solution to converting python dict() to jython in eclipse?
I just want to index two pre-existing lists. List of names, list of values), names[0] = values[0] that sort of thing.

Thanks

the following works in Jython - do I understand the question correctly ?

>>> dict({1:2})
{1: 2}

I am still confused, what exactly is the problem?

That seems like zip() not dict():

names = ["1", "2", "3"]
values = ["one", "two", "3"]
for pair in zip(names, values):
	print(pair)

The output is:
('1', 'one')
('2', 'two')
('3', '3')

So zip makes a List of tuples, indexing each list passed in equally. If you wanted to turn that into a dictionary you do:

theDict = dict(zip(names,values))
print(theDict)

which gives me:
{'1': 'one', '3': '3', '2': 'two'}

I am working Python, not Jython, so what of that is what you want, and what is not working?
