I’ve used the comma form with struct.unpack() frequently:

count, = struct.unpack(‘!I’, self.packet)

That’s after I don’t use it and end up scratching my head for a while and finally remember that unpack returns a tuple regardless of how many things I unpack from it. It’s just natural if you’re doing lots of single unpacks to think it returns a single value. Either way, I much prefer it to:

count = struct.unpack(‘!I’, self.packet)[0]
