Is there a way in Python to do like this:
a, b, = 1, 3, 4, 5
and then:
>>> a
1
>>> b
3
The above code doesn't work as it will throw
ValueError: too many values to unpack
Just to add to Nolen's answer, in Python 3, you can also unpack the rest, like this:
>>> a, b, *rest = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
>>> a
1
>>> rest
[3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
(this does not work in Python 2)
