ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack python

Question

I have got an existing menu that gives you options L or D. L should load the contents of a file and D should display it.<

Answer 1

This error is occurring at

name,adult,child= line.split(',')

When you assign three variables on the left it is assuming you have a 3-tuple on the right. In this example, it appears line has no comma hence line.split(',') results in a list with only one string, thus the error "more than 1 value to unpack".
