Re: issue with multiple variables in if statement
@21
Unpacking is a bad idea with respect to naming because you must then remember what functions are and aren't returning tuples, and what the order of the returned fields is. Generally you don't unpack in Python when developing bigger things for this reason. Multiple assignment is fine:
health_percent, max_health = player.get_health_percent(), player.get_max_health()because there's no question about mixing up the order.
I wouldn't suggest Zarvox do this, but if you yourself want a better way you can use namedtuple or attrs to make lightweight objects that you can return from functions that want to return multiple values.
Sometimes unpacking is warranted, for example returning 3d coordinates or when dealing with a function that must execute atomically ALA Django's create or update functionality (which isn't just calling create followed by update if create fails). But it should be used with incredibly extreme care. It saves a line or two in the moment, but in the moment almost never matters when programming anything that's meant to last.
