As I can see at the moment, these cases should behave differently:
x, y = [1,2,3,4] # must raise ValueError x, y = iter([1,2,3,4]) # should work
But at the same time, it violates current situation. So maybe, as you have said we need special syntax. I will think about it.
I would find this confusing. Consider where you don't have literals: def f(vals): x, y = vals data = [1,2,3,4] f(data) data = iter(data) f(data) Having the two calls behave differently would be a recipe for errors as someone refactors the calling code. Paul
