you'll need to pass the locals() or globals() manually. Can't be done
(cleanly) otherwise. Check the following code:
import re
x1=1
x2=20
x3=30
q6=40
def make_dict(regex, nsmapping):
output_dict = {}
compiled_regex = re.compile(regex)
for key, value in nsmapping.items():
if compiled_regex.match(key):
output_dict[key] = value
return output_dict
d = make_dict("x[123]", locals())
print d
