Which brings me to my two questions: > 1) what's the syntax for this operation Exactly as you showed above (well, minus the period obviously). 2) what version does it start with?

Unpacking Tuples
I hate to post such a simple Q and A here, but I seriously can't find it anywhere. Python (unsure of starting with which version) enables the remainder of the tuple to be placed in a "catch-all", for example: >> myTuple = (1,2,3,4) >> varOne, varTwo, *remaindingTuple = myTuple. where the values left unpacked get thrown into a tuple referenced to by "remaindingTuple" I included the asterix because it seems like I remember that being the operator that specifying the tuple's dumping ground.
