Could we use semicolons in the subscript to create a tuple? They could 
be used for packing or unpacking:

     partner_id, product_id, ship_to, product_ids = values['partner_id'; 
'product_id'; 'ship_to'; 'product_ids']

     my_dict['partner_id'; 'product_id'; 'ship_to'; 'product_ids'] = 
partner_id, product_id, ship_to, product_ids

Or they would that be too easily confused with commas?
