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

I don't know whether it's good style, but

locals().update(params)

will do the trick. You then have a, b and whatever was in your params dict available as corresponding local variables.
