...and so on. The current syntax for doing this is a tad verbose:
def process():
if time_to_do_thing1():
env = base_env.copy()
env.update(thing1_env_stuff)
env.update(env_tweaks)
thing1(env)
del env
if time_to_do_thing2():
env = base_env.copy()
env.update(thing2_env_stuff)
env.update(env_tweaks)
thing2(env)
del env
Of course I forgot:
def process():
if time_to_do_thing1():
thing1({**base_env, **thing1_env_stuff, **env_tweaks})
if time_to_do_thing2():
thing2({**base_env, **thing2_env_stuff, **env_tweaks})
...which says something about how memorable that syntax is.
