Question

I’d like to call a function in python using a dictionary with matching key-value pairs for the parameters.

Here is some code:

d = dict(param='test')  def f(param):     print(param)  f(d) 

This prints {'param': 'test'} but I’d like it to just print test.

I’d like it to work similarly for more parameters:

d = dict(p1=1, p2=2) def f2(p1, p2):     print(p1, p2) f2(d) 

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Figured it out for myself in the end. It is simple, I was just missing the ** operator to unpack the dictionary

So my example becomes:

d = dict(p1=1, p2=2) def f2(p1,p2):     print(p1, p2) f2(**d)
