How about this::

    records_idx = {
        label: idx
        for (idx, label) in enumerate(collection_of_labels)
        }

You may have tripped on the ambiguity of the comma in its surrounding
context. I always prefer to put parens around the items I intend to be
comma-separated, to remove that ambiguity.
