Why am I getting this ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 3)?
The ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 3)
error occurs when you are trying to unpack more values than the number of variables you have provided.
For example, let's say you have a tuple with 2 values, but you are trying to unpack it into 3 variables:
csstuple1 = (1, 2)
a, b, c = tuple1
This will result in the ValueError
because you are trying to unpack 3 values from tuple1
, but it only contains 2 values.
To fix this error, you need to make sure that the number of variables you are unpacking matches the number of values in the tuple. In the above example, you would need to remove the c
variable to fix the error:
csstuple1 = (1, 2)
a, b = tuple1
If you are not working with tuples, but rather with a function or method that returns multiple values, you might also be encountering this error if you are not properly assigning the variables to the returned values. Make sure that you are using the correct number of variables to receive the returned values, and that you are using the correct syntax to unpack them.
