elegant python style for loops

To step through a list, the python style is avoid an explicit index.
But what if the same hidden index is to be used for more than one list

for example:-
 for key,value in listKeys,listValues :
     newdict[key]=value

won't work as it is a tuple of lists, as opposed to a list of tuples.
Is there an elegant solution to this? Is there a way to merge lists
into a list of tuples to allow moving through multiple lists, or is
the for i in range(len(listkeys)): the only solution?

Any suggestions?
