@Norman
I forgot to mention this. You should index the event instead of
iterating over it. I suppose each event has a name in index 12, so you
shouldn't get an IndexError.

Then you can loop over combos:

for index, name in combos.items():
    event_dict[name] = event[index]

Or you can generalize the process as Peter has shown.
