Why?

This is just creating a dict the hard way. If you already know both keys and values, why not just

PARAMS = {'key': 'value'}

PARAMS = set_param(['key'], ['value'])  # this seems so unnecessary

Furthermore

def set_param(parameters,values):
     return dict(zip(parameters,values))  # still wholly unncessary, but at least it clearer
