But leading underscores like this are only used as attributes of classes. I believe the OP was asking about unused local variables. Something more like this: mode, _ino, dev, nlink, uid, gid, size, _atime, _mtime, _ctime = os.stat("/etc/hosts") (Ignore that os.stat returns a posix.stat_result object on Unix-y systems.)
