Agreed. As a minor readability refinement, I would prefer to spell this with square brackets: [jack] = (p for p in people if p.id == '1234') The effect is identical, but for the one-item unpack, I prefer not to have the vital-but-subtle trailing comma. (You can use square brackets on larger assignment lists too, but they don't add anything.)
