I have a list like this :

list1 = ["a:b","x:y","s:e","w:x"]

I want convert into dictionary like this:

dict = {'a':'b', 'x':'y','s':'e','w':'x'}

The list is dynamic. How could i achieve this ?

You could do

>>> list1 = ["a:b","x:y","s:e","w:x"]
>>> dict(elem.split(':') for elem in list1)
{'a': 'b', 'x': 'y', 's': 'e', 'w': 'x'}

Like this? 

super_dict = dict()
for el in list1:
  super_dict[el[0]] = el[-1]

Of course there could be problems if the keys are identical, you'll need to add code if needed
