Creating or assigning variables from a dictionary in Python

Hello

we have dictionary like this:

data = {'raw':'lores ipsum', 'code': 500}

how to convert this dict to strings? result must be like this:

print raw
print code
#output is 
#  lores ipsum
#  500

EDIT:
OK, so what I want is to have raw and code variable available.. one more example

data = {'raw':'lores ipsum', 'code': 500}
var1 = code
var2 = raw

it’s becomes difficult to make tons of string operations with variable, which is dict, which is in class method…
so it’s endups with this: self.data[‘raw’][0] , it’s killing me to write this everytime so to make “raw” variable is more comfortable… (imagine join and format operation with using this on every line!!!) anyway this vars will be available only in this method, so there’s no side-effects for this solution…

EDIT: deleted, nobody understands what I want

Answer 1

This is a pretty bad idea – using dicts as intended ends up with a much less confusing solution.

A quick hack dirty way of making the key=value pairs into non-dict string variables is as follows:

for key in data:
  exec("{0} = '{1}'".format(key,data[key]))

This is fragile and breaks with complex data types, aside from being ill-advised, but it does what you’ve asked.
