Dict Unpacking in Python

  def u(**kwargs):
    return tuple(kwargs.values())

*I realize the tuple can be omitted here

  >>> from operator import itemgetter
  >>> dct = {'greeting': 'hello', 'thing': 'world', 'farewell': 'bye'}
  >>> thing, greeting = itemgetter("thing", "greeting")(dct)
  >>> thing
  'world'
  >>> greeting
  'hello'
