How to pass a dictionary to a function as named parameters in Python 2.7

Question

I have a dictionary with several items.

d = {}
d['name'] = 'Umair'
d['field'] = 'Programmer'
FunctionHere(name = d['name'], field = d['field'])

How can I pass that dictionary as named parameters without writing each value?

Answer 1

The syntax is:

FunctionHere(**d)
