multiple-starred-expressions (F622)#

Derived from the Pyflakes linter.

What it does#

Checks for the use of multiple starred expressions in assignment statements.

Why is this bad?#

In assignment statements, starred expressions can be used to unpack iterables. Including more than one starred expression on the left-hand-side of an assignment will cause a SyntaxError, as it is unclear which expression should receive the remaining values.

Example#

*foo, *bar, baz = (1, 2, 3)
