I am think more in the line of string.ljust(). So if we have a list.ljust(length, filler), we can do something like
name, value = s.split('=',1).ljust(2,'')
I can always break it down into multiple lines. The good thing about list unpacking is its a really compact and obvious syntax.
Just to clarify the ljust() is a feature wish, probably should be named something like pad().
Also there is another thread a few hours before this asking about essentially the same thing.
