Can you write a python program that converts a list [a1, b1, a2, b2, ...] into a dictionary with keys given by the "a"s and values given by the "b"s, so eg {a1: b1, a2: b2, ...}?

Sure, here's a simple Python program that does that:  def dict_from_list(list):     d = {}     for i in range(0, len(list), 2):         d[list[i]] = list[i+1]     return d

Sure, here's some python code that does that:  input_list = [a1, b1, a2, b2, ...]  output_dict = {}  for input_item in input_list:     output_dict[input_item[0]] = input_item[1]
