Is there a simple and elegant way to extract all variables from a dict to the current module locals? I am using Django and we would like to load all values of the local_settings.py file which is something like:

DEBUG=True
KEY="VALUE"
NUMKEY=1
...

from a json, which will be compatible:

{ "DEBUG": true, "Key": "VALUE", "NUMKEY": 1 }

so I'm looking for a simple way to extract all into the local variables of the settings.py file.

EDIT: so inside my local_settings.py I will have something like:

   JSON_VALUES = {...}
   # here i would like to extract all the JSON_VALUES to variables.
   # in the most elegant possible way :)
   # ex: DEBUG = JSON_VALUES['DEBUG']

Thank you!

What does _module local_ means? You mean _module global_? – Boseong Choi Mar 19 '20 at 08:59
Yes, I mean extract all the values from the JSON into the module global variables. @BoseongChoi – ET-CS Mar 19 '20 at 09:02
`for key, value in JSON_VALUES.items(): globals()[key] = value`. `globals` and `locals` are the same dict if you run this in the top-level of your module – Hymns For Disco Mar 19 '20 at 09:06
