How to transform an enumerate object into a dictionary

[fad3r]

It appears it is still a string?

import string
what = input ("Please tell me the string you want to use:  ")
letter = input ("What is the letter you want me to find: ")
values = {}
a = what.find (letter)
if a == -1:
    print ("not there")
else:
    e = enumerate(what)
    for x, y in e:
        values=[x] = y
        print (type(values))

<class 'str'>
<class 'str'>
<class 'str'>
<class 'str'>

If I reverse x and y I get this error

values=[y] = x
TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable

I see I had errors in my code.

This code works.

import string
what = input ("Please tell me the string you want to use:  ")
letter = input ("What is the letter you want me to find: ")
values = dict()
a = what.find (letter)
if a == -1:
    print ("not there")
else:
    e = enumerate(what)
    for x, y in e:
        values[x] = y
        print (type(values))

Thank you!
