Here are a few syntaxes that I believe have been proposed at various times:
x, y = islice(iter, 2) # status quo x, y = iter # your proposal x, y, = iter # omit last destination
Just to clear the list, this one (trailing comma) would be ambiguous/backward incompatible for the 1 variable case: x, = iter which is a relatively common idiom and is expected to raise an error if the iterator has trailing elements. -- Daniel F.
