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.         


        

Answer 1

from operator import itemgetter

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

a, b = itemgetter('a', 'b')(params)

Instead of elaborate lambda functions or dictionary comprehension, may as well use a built in library.
