Unpack list into middle of a tuple

Question

I have a list of uncertain size:

l = [...]

And I want to unpack this list into a tuple that has other values, but the below fails:

Answer 1

As of python 3.5, you can now use your first approach:

>>> l = [1, 2, 3]
>>> t = ("AA", "B", *l, "C")
>>> t
('AA', 'B', 1, 2, 3, 'C')

You can use slices just as you'd expect:

>>> ("AA", "B", *l[:-1], "C")
('AA', 'B', 1, 2, 'C')
