Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: too many values to unpack
so, i imagine what is happening is the lhs, t,l, is really
(t, (l)), i.e. only two items.
so how should i have done this readably and simply?

By the way, don't use 'l' as an identifier; it is very close to '1' visually.

Your question isn't at all clear. You're trying to assign a 4-element
tuple to two elements. That generates a ValueError.
Did you want to only split once at most? Then it's s.split('|', 1).
Did you want to assign the first element to the first variable and the
rest to the next? Then it's x = s.split('|'); a, b = x[0], x[1:].

what you wrote is the most readable to me:
just asign the first 2 element to t, l respectively and forget about
the rest. I assume that is what you want. I think perl may do it this
way.
A solution which I think looks uglier is :
t, l = s.split('|')[:2]

Hi,
I am a newbie on C++, I need to define some global variables which should be
accessible to most classes. In the mean time, I don't won't the global
variables be modified freely at most of these classes. I know there is a
pattern called singleton can more or less do such a trick. I am wondering is
this the best way to do it (regarding the convenience and safety), as this

In this tutorial on singleton class in C++
(http://gethelp.devx.com/techtips/cpp_pro/10min/10min0200.asp) the

that only the first is safe for multi-threaded appliactions. I want
to know why this so.

hi,
I have a singleton Evaluation class that I'm calling repeatedly in one

if one instance of the singleton can ever "clash" with another?
I'm asking because I'm getting unexpected results. I've looked for the
problem the past several days and can't attribute the anomalies to
logic errors.

Design Pattern: The Singleton
Overview
Use the Singleton Design Pattern when you want to have only one instance of a class. This single instance must have a single global point of access. That is, regardless of where the object is hidden, everyone needs access to it.
The global point of access is the object's Instance() method.
Individual users need to be prevented from creating their own instances of the Singleton.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
