Hello, I am working my way through the tutorial, and I like trying variations, just to see what expected errors look like, and other ways things could be written.
I tried a, b = 0, 0 and that worked. Then I tried this to (maybe) set both a and b to 0: >>> a, b = 0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable I understand why it doesn't work, but I don't understand the wording of the exception. Could someone explain how I accidentally introduced iteration into the picture with my syntax? I have a feeling there's an interesting lesson hidden in this example... Thanks. -jeff _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
