Split string into different variables instead of array in Python [duplicate]

Python Split String

Is possible to directly split string into variables in one line, instead of using two lines. I'm sure that split would have two elements. Two lines example:

myString = "Anonym Anonymous" a = myString.split() firstName,lastName = a[0],a[1] 

Answer 1

firstName, lastName = myString.split() should do it if you're sure it will return 2.

Better is firstName, lastName = myString.split(' ', 1)

Answer 2

firstname, lastname = "Anonym Anonymous".split()
