Use Jeff Shannon's approach to get keys and vals.

What is that?!?
your dict thing ain't workin'
This is verified code... HA,HA,HA,Ha, ha, ha
Well... okay, it's only tested, not verified.
fulllist = ['a','apple','b','boy','c','cat']
keys = fulllist[::2]
vals = fulllist[1::2]
dictionary = dict(zip(keys,vals))
HTH,
