This is crude but fun. I wouldn't do it in anything serious program though. > import itertools > > a, b, c, d = list(itertools.chain(input_tuple, itertools.repeat(None, 4)))[:4] If your input tuple has 4 values, you'll get them in the 4 variables. If your input tuple has less (say 3), you'll get a, b and c. d will be set to None. If your input tuple has more than 4, the remaining will be ignored. -- Cordially, Noufal http://nibrahim.net.in _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
