New submission from Cat Chenal <catche...@gmail.com>:
S = {19,8,-1,25,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
a, *b, c = S
print('a:', a)
print('b:', b)
print('c:', c)
Output:
a: 0
b: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 19, 25]
c: -1
Either test_unpack.py needs a test for "non-indexable object" to prevent this
unpacking of a non-sequence, or the unpacking of a set should be implemented
(granted the ordered repr of a set is changed to unordered, see Issue38853).
Being able to "unpack" a set would be nice to have, imho, because one would use
that operation to obtain a partition (over unordered elements).
