Python - is there a “don't care” symbol for tuple assignments?

Question

Given a string \"VAR=value\" I want to split it (only) at the first \'=\' sign (< value > may contain more \'=\' signs), something like this:

<         


        

Answer 1

Really strange question, because you can do just:

var, _, value = s.partition(sep)

and don't care about _ variable, but _ is just a name as sep, as var or value. By the way use str.split

>>> var, value = "VAR=value".split('=')
>>> var, value
('VAR', 'value')
>>>
