I’ve used the comma form with struct.unpack() frequently: count, = struct.unpack(‘!I’, self.packet) That’s after I don’t use it and end up scratching my head for a while and finally remember that unpack returns a tuple regardless of how many things I unpack from it. It’s just natural if you’re doing lots of single unpacks to think it returns a single value. Either way, I much prefer it to: count = struct.unpack(‘!I’, self.packet)[0] -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
