The fromkeys() function is used to create a new dictionary, with the elements in the sequence seq as the keys and the value as the initial value corresponding to all keys.
Example

seq = ('name', 'age', 'sex','address','ID')
dict1 = dict.fromkeys(seq)
print("the dict1 is : ", dict1 )
dict2 = dict.fromkeys(seq, 2019)
print("the dict2 is: " ,dict2)
Output:
the dict1 is : {'name': None, 'age': None, 'sex': None, 'address': None, 'ID': None}
the dict2 is: {'name': 2019, 'age': 2019, 'sex': 2019, 'address': 2019, 'ID': 2019}
