c = dict(zip(['one', 'two', 'three'], [1, 2, 3]))
print("1:",c) # right: {'one': 1, 'two': 2, 'three': 3}

b= zip(['one', 'two', 'three'], [1, 2, 3])
a= list(b) #Because of this line of code, the result is different
print("2:",dict(b)) #wrong: {}

b= zip(['one', 'two', 'three'], [1, 2, 3])
a= tuple(b) #Because of this line of code, the result is different
print("2:",dict(b)) #wrong: {}

This is not a bug. In Python 2, zip() returns a list, so you can use it over and over again. But in Python 3, zip() returns an iterator, and you can only use iterators once. After you have used the iterator, it is exhausted and there is nothing left.

So the behaviour you see is expected and intentional.
