[BangPypers] Unpacking Tuple

2012-10-06 Thread Saju M
Hi, I am using python 2.6. I need a way to make following code working without any ValueError . >>> a, b, c, d = (1,2,3,4) >>> a, b, c, d = (1,2,3). Note: Number of values in the tuple will change dynamically. I know in python 3, you can do `a, b, c, *d = (1, 2, 3)` and then d will contain any

Something similar to Noufal's but with out using itertools... >>> s=(1,2,3,4) >>> a,b,c,d = s + (None,)*(4-len(s)) >>> print a,b,c,d 1 2 3 4 >>> s=(1,) >>> a,b,c,d = s + (None,)*(4-len(s)) >>> print a,b,c,d 1 None None None Regards Veerabahu On Sat, Oct 6, 2012 at 4:17 PM, Noufal Ibrahim wrote:

All of these are clever but I'd be very annoyed if I saw them in serious production code. I'd recommend that you rethink your original code. If there are varying length tuples that you're passing in which you need assigned to variables, it might make more sense to use a dictionary. a, b, c and d w
