I'm baffled by this discussion. What's wrong with a, dontcare, dontcare2 = f() a = a + 1 Simple, clear, and correct.
1. This can't apply to a generalized f() that may return an arbitrary number of arguments >= len(num_assignments_you_care_about). 2. The example chosen was misleading. You don't want to add 1 to the first element of the tuple, you want to move the "start" of the returned tuple up 1 and start assignment on the left from there.
