Pythonic way to iterate through list of strings?
<p>At the moment I have the following as a way of putting the characters in a sort of visual text-map into a dict. I am wondering though, if there's a really nice concise, pythonic way of doing this double iteration. Any ideas?</p>

<pre><code>lines = ['abc','456','xyz']
chars = {}
for i, row in enumerate(lines):
    for j, c in enumerate(row):
        chars[i,j] = c
</code></pre>
