Is there a way in Python to do like this:
a, b, = 1, 3, 4, 5 and then:
>>> a 1 >>> b 3 The above code doesn't work as it will throw
ValueError: too many values to unpack

Python uses the commas ( , ) to define a tuple, not parentheses. Unpacking tuples means assigning individual elements of a tuple to multiple variables. Use the * operator to assign remaining elements of an unpacking assignment into a list and assign it to a variable.
Unpack a nested tuple and list. You can also unpack a nested tuple or list. If you want to expand the inner element, enclose the variable with () or [] .
We can iterate through the entire list of tuples and get first by using the index, index-0 will give the first element in each tuple in a list.
Just to add to Nolen's answer, in Python 3, you can also unpack the rest, like this:
>>> a, b, *rest = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 >>> a 1 >>> rest [3, 4, 5, 6, 7] Unfortunately, this does not work in Python 2 though.

There is no way to do it with the literals that you've shown. But you can slice to get the effect you want:
a, b = [1, 3, 4, 5, 6][:2] To get the first two values of a list:
a, b = my_list[:2] If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
