I'm amazed that this works. I had not realized that
x,y= [3,4]
is equivalent to
x= 3; y= 4
Python is rather clever.
Thanks!

To elaborate on Paul's answer, returning the list will also unpack it if
you have it set up that way. E.g.
def func(alist):
return alist
some_list = [1, 2]
this, that = func(alist)
At least, in 2.5.4 this works. :-)
Mind you, if you don't have the correct number of return names to match
the unpacking you'll get the normal errors from that.
Hope this helps!
