Is it possible to make this line of code valid?
description, content, state, city, datetime = makeTupleRightOrder(dictionary)
this makeTupleRightOrder would get the 'parameters' from the left side of the assignment, convert their names to strings and build a list getting their values from the dictionary.
No. The function has no idea what's on the left side of the assignment, and even if it did, the variables might well have names different from the keys.
kindall is right. For the general case, you can't do this. What you can do is sort the keys alphabetically, and always make sure that the variables you are unpacking the dict to are in the correct (alphabetic order) in terms of the keys:
city, content, datetime, description, state = [dictionary[k] for k in sorted(dictionary)]
(This example assumes the dictionary keys are named identically to the variables you are unpacking them to).
NOTE
If you are running into situations where you are forced to do this, I would consider designing your code differently. Your implementation is probably flawed.
map(lambda x:dictionary[x],[description, content, state, city, datetime])locals().update(dictionary)accomplishes your end goal of converting a dictionary to variable names.locals()should not be modified.
