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, use the throw-away variable '_'

  self.m, 
  self.userCodeToUserNameList, 
  self.itemsList, 
  self.userToKeyHash, 
  self.fileToKeyHash, 
  _ = readUserFileMatrixFromFile(x,True)

here '_' is deliberately ignored.
