Stefan Krah <ste...@bytereef.org> added the comment:
I just want to add one more voice for allowing the status quo: C, OCaml, SML, Haskell allow the assignment, Ruby disallows it. The ML family must allow it, since "let (x) = 10" is pattern matching under the hood, and (10) = 10. In C (gcc, clang at least, I didn't check the standard) it may be convenience. Python's assignment unpacking is similar to pattern matching, so while the construct is surprising at first, I think it's the right thing to do. ---------- nosy: +skrah _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35207> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
