appending elements to dictionary in python

dictionary = {}

tabl = [('maint_id', 1003L), ('type', 'DB'), ('number', '102')]
for i in tabl:
     dictionary{i[0]:i[1]}


print dictionary

It is giving me only the last key value pair in my dictionary. it is overwritting all the elements. what is wrong with this code.. any help

It's much easier:

dictionary = dict(tabl)

If order matters:

from collections import OrderedDict
dictionary = OrderedDict(tabl)

You want:

for i in tabl:
     dictionary[i[0]] = i[1]
