How to get multiple dictionary values?

by

There already exists a function for this:

from operator import itemgetter

my_dict = {x: x**2 for x in range(10)}

itemgetter(1, 3, 2, 5)(my_dict)
#>>> (1, 9, 4, 25)

itemgetter will return a tuple if more than one argument is passed. To pass a list to itemgetter, use

itemgetter(*wanted_keys)(my_dict)

Keep in mind that itemgetter does not wrap its output in a tuple when only one key is requested, and does not support zero keys being requested.
