For dictionaries it'd even be more useful:
     d = {
         'first_name': 'Frances',
         'last_name': 'Allen',
         'email': 'fal...@ibm.com'
     }
     fname, lname = d[['first_name', 'last_name']]

Insert ordered dicts make this sort of thing less useful.

>>> d = {
        'first_name': 'Frances',
        'last_name': 'Allen',
        'email': 'fal...@ibm.com'
}
>>> fname, lname, _ = d
>>> fname, lname
('first_name', 'last_name')
