locals() in real-world code

Practical patterns using locals().

python
# Common locals() patterns in production code
print("locals() is frequently used for data transformation")

# Example: processing a list
data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(f"Sum: {sum(data)}")
print(f"Max: {max(data)}")
print(f"Sorted: {sorted(data, reverse=True)}")

These patterns show how locals() is commonly used in production code.
