Destructuring-bind dictionary contents

Question

I am trying to \'destructure\' a dictionary and associate values with variables names after its keys. Something like

params = {\'a\':1,\'b\':2}
a,b = params.

If you are afraid of the issues involved in the use of the locals dictionary and you prefer to follow your original strategy, Ordered Dictionaries from python 2.7 and 3.1 collections.OrderedDicts allows you to recover you dictionary items in the order in which they were first inserted
