i think i don't understand what you exactly want... maybe you could 
illustrate you problem with an example of data and how the result should 
look like or a few lines from the interactive prompt, like:

>>> names = ["one", "two", "tree"]
>>> values = [1,2,3]
>>> dict(zip(names,values))
{'tree': 3, 'two': 2, 'one': 1}
