nothing shorter than this
def s(*args, **kwargs):
rtn = {}
for a in args:
rtn[a] = kwargs['l'].get(a)
return rtn
def test():
images = 'a'
stories = 'b'
l = locals()
return s('images','stories', l=l)
PS: there's no way to retrieve name of variables from statements like
"return images, values", because they are evaluated. Namedtuple are the
most "minimal" structures allowing that, but code to create a new
namedtuple is several characters longer (and you're basically asking for
less characters ^_^)
