Hi there!
This request is a close cousin of the recent discussion about optional
keywords arguments, which you can find in the archives at
https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/thread/MILIX6HSW3PRUNWWP6BN2G2D7PXYFZJ7/
A lot of the same comments for and against apply here. I'll just
cherry-pick a specific point:

How about adding similar syntax to Python? Like raw strings, we can
add prefix letters such as '$' to the opening curly brace for the
purpose.
d = ${first, last, addr1, addr2, tel='123-456-789'}
Python is not Perl. By that I mean Python in general tends not to use
non-alphanumeric symbols unless they already have a well established
meaning (such as quote marks, arithmetic operators and so on). "${...}"
definitely does not have such a meaning; a newcomer looking at the above
would not have a lot of guidance as to what might be going on, and could
be forgiven for thinking they were looking at some weird form of set.
