I do apologize for the sarcasm. - really, I not only stand corrected: I recognize i was incorrect to start with. But my argument that this feature is needless language bloat stands. On the othe hand, as for getting variable names out of _shallow_ mappings, I've built that feature in a package I authored, using a context manager to abuse the import mechanism - In [96]: from extradict import MapGetter In [97]: data = {"A": None, "B": 10} In [98]: with MapGetter(data): ...: from data import A, B ...: In [99]: A, B Out[99]: (None, 10) That is on Pypi and can be used by anyone right now. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
