How in Python make a dictionary of two lists, one of which consists of functions, and another - strings?

Question

I need to have the following dictionary actions = {'1': c1, '2': c2, '3': c3}

def c1():
    print 'c1'
def c2():
    print 'c2'
def c3():
    print 'c3'

commands1 = ['1', '2', '3']
commands2 = [c1, c2, c3]
actions = {}

What I tried:

for c1 in commands1:
    for c2 in commands2:
        actions = dict(zip(c1, c2))

But it gives an error argument #2 must support iteration

`c2` at that point is a single command from the second list, which you cannot iterate over. — jonrsharpe, Oct 30 '16 at 16:08
Also, that looping thing won't work as you overwrite the variable `actions` at each iteration. — ForceBru, Oct 30 '16 at 16:11
