I think you'll find Guido has made another trip
in the time machine for this one:

Python 2.3 (#1, Aug  5 2003, 15:52:30)
[GCC 3.1 20020420 (prerelease)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> b = [0,1,2]
 >>> (a, (b[2], c)) = ('big', ('red', 'dog'))
 >>> a
'big'
 >>> b
[0, 1, 'red']
 >>> c
'dog'
 >>>
