Juanjo Alvarez:

 What is exactly false on what I said?


This syntax you have explained doesn't do what you think it does:
a, b, c, _ = ('tuple', 'of', 'three')
See:

The _ is just the name of a normal identifier (in the interactive shell it
refers to the last result).

That was a typo, I meant to write:

a, b, _ = ('tuple', 'of', 'three')

Even then, the _ identifier is not special all :)
