Sorry if this is too simple but I couldn't find. I vaguely remember there is a means to assign a variable length tuple and catch the 'rest' like
S="a,b,c,d"
(A,B,<list of remaining items>) = S.split(',')
I know I could do
SL= split(',')
(A,B)=SL[:2]
Rest= SL[2:]
but is there some shorthand for this?
Many thanks for a hint,
