Is their a program or thing that you can install that makes creating a dictionary easier or do you always have to complete it manually?

As far as I could find the curly brace method is the standard method of creating a dictionary. If the dictionary contains a specific type of values like the letters of the alphabet there are shortcuts you can use in Python to create that dictionary. I've copied some source links below.
