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")] Regards, -- . Facundo Blog: http://www.taniquetil.com.ar/plog/ PyAr: http://www.python.org/ar/
