Hi,

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.values()

but since dictionaries are not ordered, there is no guarantee that params.values() will return values in the order of (a,b). Is there a nice way to do this?

Thanks
