fast dictionary initialization

[maurice]

Hi. If I have already a list of values, let's call it valuesList and the keysList, both same sized lists, what is the easiest/quickest way to initialize a dictionary with those keys and list, in terms of number of lines perhaps?

example:
valuesList = [1,2,3]
keysList   = ['1','2','3']

So the dictionary can basically convert string to int:

dictionary = {'1':1, '2':2, '3':3}

Thanks
