Dictionary comprehension from random word (Python)

Question

How can I express this using dictionary comprehension in python? Is it even possible? Thank you.

#word = "anyword\n"
k, word_dict = 0, {}
for letter in word[:-1]:
    word_dict[k] = letter
    k += 1

Answer 1

word_dict = {i: word[i] for i in range(len(word) - 1)}

This iterates over all indexes but last of word and associates the index with the corresponding letter

Maybe its more elegant using enumerate

word_dict = {i: letter for i, letter in enumerate(word[:-1])}

This yields the same result
