[Python-ideas] f-string "debug" conversion

It seems to me that a short form for keyword arguments would improve this situation too. So instead of your suggestion one could do:

print(dict(=value))

And of course this feature wouldn’t be a minor feature on f-strings but a feature that is generally useful and composable so the above could be improved:

def debug(**kwargs):
    for k, v in kwargs.items():
        print(f’{k}={v}’)

debug(=value, =another)
