I want to type a (from list1) and get 1 (from list2), and I don't want to use dict{zip(a,b)}. Is this possible? Don't want to type something like dict['a'], just a.
List1=['a', 'b', 'c']
List2=[1, 24, 35]
print(a)

1How about `a, b, c = 1, 24, 35`? – L.Grozinger Jul 19 '20 at 00:13

You could use an [`AttrDict`](https://stackoverflow.com/a/15109345/355230) which is `dict` subclass that would allow you to reference `my_attrdict.a` in addition to the usual `my_attrdict['a']`. – martineau Jul 19 '20 at 00:38

1Dont dynamically create variables. If you want to map strings to other objects, use the appropriate container, in this case, a `dict` – juanpa.arrivillaga Jul 19 '20 at 00:51

Try creating a function and passing the array and the string you want to fetch as a argument. Inside the function use a for-loop to match the items of the array and returning the matching item.

Assuming the lists are same length and the position are always aligned, you can do
List1=[a, b, c]
List2=[1, 24, 35]
List2[List1.index(a)]

If the OP doesn't want to even type `dict['a']`, I don't think he'll want to type `List2[List1.index('a')]` – L.Grozinger Jul 19 '20 at 00:17

@L.Grozinger I assumed he just didn't want to make things into a dictionary. Sadly I can't ask for details in the comment because i don't have enough reputation. – sqz Jul 19 '20 at 00:20

They are both from inputs, and i'll ask the OP to input an equation, so it can't be something like '100+dict['A']', it need's to be like '100+A'. – Lucas Lemos Jul 19 '20 at 00:26
