python key value pairing

Question

I have one array like this arr1 = ['name','age','sex'] and another array that has values of this array like val1 = ['Jone','20','male'] . Now I want to make a dict that will look like this --> val = {'name':'jone','age':'20','sex':'male'}

current I am doing that dict this way -->

val = {}
val['name'] = val1[0]
val['age'] = val1[1]
val['sex'] = val1[2]

Is there any better way to do this?

>>> arr1 = ['name','age','sex']
>>> val1 = ['Jone','20','male']
>>> dict(zip(arr1, val1))
{'age': '20', 'name': 'Jone', 'sex': 'male'}

With python 2.7 onwards you could use dictionary comprehension

val = { k: v for k, v in zip(arr1, val1) }

@Macabeus, Yes, too, I meant... if you are not using something older than python 2.7 ;) – memoselyk Dec 10 '15 at 05:19

val = {}
for i in range(len(arr1)):
    val[arr1[i]] = val1[i]
