Because your tuple spans multiple lines I think you will need to put parens round it. >>> a,b,c,d Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 1, in ? NameError: name 'a' is not defined >>> (a,b,c,d ... So starting with a paren tells Python to ignore the newline. Without it it gets confused about what you want to do.
