This is called tuple unpacking.
a, b = 1, 2
print a # 1
print b # 2
line.split(...)
returns two elements which get unpacked to role
, line_spoken
.
So, for example if line.split(...)
returns ['Monty', 'Python']
, role
would get 'Monty'
and line_spoken
would get 'Python'
.
solved What does the role and line_spoken do in code?
