Yes you can, you just need an iterable of the right length on
the other side for the tuple unpacking to work:
>>> (CONSTANT1,
... # This isn't a syntax error
... CONSTANT2,
... CONSTANT3, #and neither is this
... CONSTANT) = [1] * 4
>>> [ (k, v) for k, v in locals().items() if k.startswith("CONSTANT") ]
[('CONSTANT', 1), ('CONSTANT1', 1), ('CONSTANT3', 1), ('CONSTANT2', 1)]
>>>
