I understand why it doesn't work, but I don't understand the wording
of the exception. Could someone explain how I accidentally introduced
iteration into the picture with my syntax? I have a feeling there's an
interesting lesson hidden in this example...
To upack your variables a and b you need an iterable object on the right
side, which returns you exactly 2 variables, e.g you could also write
a, b = range(2)
or create your own class
class X:
def __iter__(self):
yield 0
yield 0
a,b = X()
