Maybe dictionary unpacking would be a nice thing?
d = {'foo': 42, 'egg': 23} {'foo': bar, 'egg': spam} = d print bar, spam 42 23
Bad idea.
It uncovers a lot of details for your brain to take care when doing that, for example:
d = {'foo': 42, 'egg': 23} {'not': bar, 'egg': spam} = d print bar ??? {'egg': bar, 'egg': spam} = d print bar ???
I would consider something like the following:
bar, spam = d.multiple("foo", "egg")
with the semantics of:
bar, spam = [d[k] for k in ("foo", "egg")]
We also have bar, spam = itemgetter("foo", "egg")(d) if some functional form is preferred. Georg -- Thus spake the Lord: Thou shalt indent with four spaces. No more, no less. Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
