convert one list of strings into a dictionary

Question

I have this list:

['>A0A017H360\n',
'IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMIIMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMIIIMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMIIMMMMMMMMMOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII\n',
'>A0A076JBG3\n',
'IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMIIIMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMIIMMMMMMMMMOOOOOMMMMMMMIIIMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII\n',
'>A0A0H7CCS8\n',
'IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMIIIMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMIIIIIII\n',
'>A0A0J3ZJ69\n',
'IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMIIIMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMIIIMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMIIIMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMIIIMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM\n',
'>A0A129GXB6\n',
'IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMIIMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMIIMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOMMMMMMMMMIIMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM\n',
'>F9D0S9\n',
'IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII....]

It is a list of strings in which I have names and sequences which belong to the names that precede them. How can I build a dictionary in which the keys are the names and the values are the strings? Thank you

where is the code you tried? – Karthikeyan KR Jul 13 '17 at 06:35 — Karthikeyan KR, Jul 13 '17 at 06:35

Assuming that the elements of the list are always alternations of names and sequences you can do this:

{ key: elem for key, elem in zip(your_list[0::2],your_list[1::2]) }

your_list[0::2] will generate a list with the names, your_list[1::2] will generate a list with the sequences.

zip(your_list[0::2],your_list[1::2]) will create a list of tuples (name, sequence) and then you can iterate over them with { key: elem for key, elem in ...} to generate the dict.
