How to retrieve an element from a set without removing it?

Question

Suppose the following:

>>> s = set([1, 2, 3])

How do I get a value (any value) out of s without doing s.pop()

Answer 1

You can unpack the values to access the elements:

s = set([1, 2, 3])

v1, v2, v3 = s

print(v1,v2,v3)
#1 2 3
