ValueError: too many values to unpack - Is it possible to ignore one value?

Question

The following line returns an error:

self.m, self.userCodeToUserNameList, self.itemsList, self.userToKeyHash, self.fileToKeyHash = readUserFileMatrixFromFile         


        

Answer 1

Just slice the last one out:

self.m,  self.userCodeToUserNameList, \
self.itemsList, self.userToKeyHash, \
self.fileToKeyHash = readUserFileMatrixFromFile(x,True)[:-1]

---

EDIT after TigerhawkT3's comment :

Note that this works only if the return object supports slicing.
