Yes, I understand that the exception is correct. I'm not saying the exception
should be changed, just that we have the opportunity to produce a more useful
error message. The exception would be equally correct if it was:
ValueError: you did something wrong
but most people would probably agree that it's not the most useful message that
could have been produced.
You have to opportunity to not use unpacking anymore :o) There is a
recent thread were the dark side of unpacking was exposed. Unpacking is
a cool feautre for very small applications but should be avoided
whenever possible otherwise.
