Here's a little issue I run into more than I like: I often need to unpack a sequence that may be too short or too long into a fixed-size set of items:
a, b, c = seq # when seq = (1, 2, 3, 4, ...) or seq = (1, 2)
What I usually do is something like this:
a, b, c = (list(seq) + [None, None, None])[:3]
but that just feels rather ugly to me -- is there a good Pythonic
idiom for this?
Thx,
Rick
