Note that my dict unpacking syntax proposal would solve this quite nicely.
{'var1': width, 'var2': counter, 'var3': aardvark} = d
But the current syntax ain't so bad either. Maybe it's even better, more
readable despite being less concise.
expected = {'var1', 'var2', 'var3'}
excess = d.keys() - expected
if excess:
raise ValueError('unexpected keys {!r}'.format(excess))
width = d['var1']
counter = d['var2']
aardvark = d['var3']
