Creating a dict from a set of variables using their names

I have a few variables from which I want to create a dictionary. This is done in a loop, and will later be used for a list of such dictionaries, for example to create a pandas.DataFrame. For example,

res = []
for item in my_collection:
    foo = foo_function(item)
    bar = bar_funtion(item)
    baz = baz_function(item)
    res.append(dict(foo=foo, bar=bar, baz=baz))

What I'm asking is in fact how to create the dictionary more succinctly, by only providing the variable names. something like make_dict(foo,bar,baz)

So if I get this you'd like to have a list of dicts where one dict looks like: { "foo": foo, "bar": bar ...}? – pasha Jun 15 '20 at 08:03
@pasha yes, you got it. – Amir Rosenfeld Jun 15 '20 at 08:26
