Yes you can, you just need an iterable of the right length on the other side for the tuple unpacking to work: >>> (CONSTANT1, ... # This isn't a syntax error ... CONSTANT2, ... CONSTANT3, #and neither is this ... CONSTANT) = [1] * 4 >>> [ (k, v) for k, v in locals().items() if k.startswith("CONSTANT") ] [('CONSTANT', 1), ('CONSTANT1', 1), ('CONSTANT3', 1), ('CONSTANT2', 1)] >>> -- \S -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chaos.org.uk/~sion/ "Frankly I have no feelings towards penguins one way or the other" -- Arthur C.
