Personally, I would find:

dict = dictionary(sequence_of_keys, sequence_of_values)

most valuable to me because I have found the need for it enought times
that I have written my own function to do it, and have used it a lot.

If it were:

dict = dictionary(sequence_of_keys_value_pairs)

I could do:

dict = dictionary(zip(sequence_of_keys, sequence_of_values))

So that would be me second choice.

All I can say about:

dictionary([k,v,k,v,k,v]) is 

YECH! (IMHO, of course)
