New submission from Jacob RR <xboxgamerma...@gmail.com>:
hi, so I *think* that ValueError shows an error grammatically incorrect? In python 2.7 >>> x = [1,2,3] >>> f,x, a, b = [1,2,3] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: need more than 3 values to unpack Should have said: Received 3 values to unpack ? The problem with that is the list size is 3 and the error says that I need more than 3 values to unpack which is logically wrong **IMHO** (don't kill me if im mistaken) Now if I try to do something else, for example: >>> x = [1,2,3] >>> a, b = [1,2,3] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: too many values to unpack It says **too many** but I assign a few than the size of the list. am I the one who wrong here? Now, I code in Python 3 I'm not a professional like you, I'm novice and try to learn.. I'll get to the point, the same code in Python 3.7.6 (Anaconda, pip is disappoint me :< ) >>> a = [1,2,3] >>> x,y = a Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2) Should said something else because it received less values and expected should say 3 and not 2, correct? thanks for reading. PS: Sorry I'm not a native speaker and I might be wrong and am very sorry if time wasted. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 365842 nosy: Jacob RR, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Misleading grammatically of ValueError Message? type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40202> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
