Hi folks, I swear I used to know this but can't find it anywhere: What's the standard idiom for unpacking the first few items of an iterable whose total length is unknown?
Something like a, b, c, _ = myiterable where _ could eat up a variable number of items, in case I'm only interested in the first 3 items? Cheers, Daniel -- Psss, psss, put it down! - http://www.cafepress.com/putitdown -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
