How to convert a Python tuple to dictionary with variable name as key?

I would like tuple (foo, bar) where

 foo = 1
 bar = 2

be converted to,

foo_dict = {'foo' : foo, 'bar' : bar}

Is there an easy way to do it?

Update:

I see that my original post is quite misleading. So, considering foo and bar are local variables within a function scope. I'd like them to be saved to a global dictionary where the keys are their variable names.

Re-update: Thanks everyone for the attention. I was using ipywidgets.interact to tune some parameters (passed as value), however I would like to save them globally, say in a dictionary. That's why the question comes in. Maybe for downvoters there may seem pointless to do such conversion, but do please share some hints for solve my needs pythonically.

The required function call is 

def func(**kwargs):
    for key in kwargs.keys():
        globals()[key]=kwargs[key]
    return kwargs

foo_dict = func(foo = 1, bar = 2)
print(foo_dict)
print(foo)
print(bar)

#{'bar': 2, 'foo': 1}
#56
