Is there a way in python to add the items of a dictionary to the local function scope? i.e. var_foo = dict['var_foo']. I don't know how many items are in this dictionary, or what they are until runtime.
exec statements are difficult for debuggers to deal with, so as a workaround I built my code into a function and saved it in a .py file. The I load the .py file as a module and call the function instead. This works great, and it has the added advantage of precompiled versions of the code being saved as .pyc and .pyo files. (faster repeated execution) The only trouble was I execed inside a specially created scope dictionary containing various variables and functions that the code requires. I can't seem to figure out how to get this same effect inside the function. Right now I'm passing the dict as an argument to the function, but I can't modify locals() so it doesn't help me.
