How to convert a string into dictionary in python 3

Question

Beginning with a string like:

S='a=65 b=66 c=67'

How would you create an output a dict like {'a':'65','b':'66','c':'67'}

Attempt:

S='a=65 b=66 c=67'
L=s.split(' ')
D=dict()
A=''
i=0
While i<Len(L):
    A=L[i].split('=')
    D[a[i]]=a[i+1]
    i+2

print (D)

Error on line 8 indexerror list index out of range

Answer 1

Let's use comprehension and split:

dict(i.split('=') for i in S.split())

Output:

{'a': '65', 'b': '66', 'c': '67'}

Answer 2

You are using index i to iterate over L, but you use (i+1) to access A, this will lead to the problem. A might not have the size of Len(L)
