New submission from Mitchell Model <m...@acm.org>: The datastructures section of the tutorial states with respect to "sequence unpacking" that "there is a small bit of asymmetry here: packing multiple values always creates a tuple, and unpacking works for any sequence". This is too general, as shown by the definition of assignment statement target in the simple_stmts section of the reference shows: tuples and lists are the only kinds of sequences that can appear on the left-hand side of an assignment statement.
