Title
Body
compact () and extract () are functions in PHP I find tremendously handy. compact() takes a list of names in the symbol table and creates a hashtable with just their values. extract does the opposite. e.g., $foo = 'what'; $bar = 'ever'; $a = compact('foo', 'bar'); $a['foo'] # what $a['baz'] = 'another' extract(a) $baz # another Is there a way to do the same in Python? I've looked all around and the closest I've come is this thread , which seems to frown on it. I know about locals(), globals() and vars(), but how can I handily select just a subset of their values? Does Python have something even better that obviates the need for this?
