R. David Murray added the comment:
Yes, you are unpacking into a list, that's what the * syntax does in this
context. Since the rhs can be a mix of types, there's really no other
reasonable meaning for the syntax. (The same is true for tuples, by the way).

It doesn't matter what you're unpacking, *y will collect the unpacked elements
into a list.

New submission from RAMESH PAMPANA:
Unpacking numpy array gives list rather numpy array.
>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.array([1,2,3,4])
>>> x, *y, z = a
>>> type(a)
>>> type(y)
>
>> type(x)
