[Python-ideas] Enhancing dict.values

[Joao S. O. Bueno]

So, apart from whatever idea you find more suitable,
as I was playing around with a module for dictionary utils just this week,
I made a proof of concept thingy that uses context managers and import from -

Whoever want to try it is welcome, of course:

(env)[gwidion at localhost tmp30]$ pip install extradict
...
Successfully installed extradict-0.1.9

(env)[gwidion at localhost tmp30]$ python
...
>>> from extradict import MapGetter
>>> a = dict(b="test", c="another test")
>>> with MapGetter(a) as a:
...     from a import b, c
...
>>> print (b, c)
test another test

----------
For the time being it works as  a naive implementation monkey patching
"__import__" -
When (and if) I get a proper thing using the importlib machinery , I
will upgrade
"extradict" to 0.2
