A recent discussion on the Python Ideas mailing list proposed adding keyword indexing to Python's syntax (e.g., x[time='2010']): https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2014-July/028250.html

In that thread, someone suggested using a dictionary for labeled indexing, as an alternative to adding new syntax. Although dedicated syntax would be nicer, I think we should consider adding this feature to xray, so we can write lines like this:

python x[dict(time='2010')] = 10
