What you're asking for is something like JavaScript's "object destructuring" syntax.
Wasn't there just a big long discussion about something like that on this list?
Yeah, and the use cases just aren't as strong in Python. I think part of it is because a JS function taking keyword arguments looks like this: function fetch(url, options) { const {method, body, headers} = options; // ... } fetch("http://httpbin.org/post", {method: "POST", body: "blah"}); whereas Python would spell it this way: def fetch(url, *, method="GET", body=None, headers=[]): ... fetch("http://httpbin.org/post", method="POST", body="blah"); So that's one big slab of use-case gone, right there.
