title: Add a 2 value tuple to dict as key:value
body: <p>I have a tuple, like <code>('key1', 'value1')</code> that I want to add that to a dictionary so it is like <code>{'key1': 'value1'}</code> but not doing something like <code>dictionary[t[0]] = t[1]</code>.</p>
  
  <p>The context is as follows, I have a recurrence rule that looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20120620T233000Z;INTERVAL=2;BYDAY=WE,TH
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I want to have a dict like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>recurrence = {
      'freq' : 'weekly',
      'until' : '20120620T233000Z',
      'interval' : '2',
      'byday' : 'we,th'
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I'm doing something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>for rule in recurrence.split(';'):
      r = rule.split('=')
      rules[r[0]] = r[1]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I don't like it at all. Is there a more pythonic way of doing it?</p>
