title: Most Pythonic Way to Build Dictionary From Single List
body: <p>I have a list of day names (typically Monday-Saturday, though special cases apply) that I want to create a dictionary out of. I want to initialize the value of each day to zero. </p>
  
  <p>If I had a list of zeroes the same length of the list of days, this would be a simple use case of <code>zip()</code>. However, a list of zeroes is a waste of space, and if that were the only solution I'd just as soon do something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>for day in weekList:
      dayDict[day] = 0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a more pythonic way? </p>
