Creating a dictionary from list

Right now I have a list of words and numbers:

List = [("purple", 8), ("orange", 2),...]

I want to make this into a dictionary:

Dictionary = [{"word":" purple", "number":8}, ...]

How do I go about this? Thanks in advance for any help

In [3]: [{'word': x, 'number': y} for x, y in List]
Out[3]: [{'word': 'purple', 'number': 8}, {'word': 'orange', 'number': 2}]

Though most probably you want this:

In [4]: dict(List)
Out[4]: {'orange': 2, 'purple': 8}
