Define "works":

a=(1,2,3,4,9,43,256,8,2021)
b=(1,0,3,4,7,999,256,8,2023)
c=(1,7,8,4,9,43,4444,8,2028)

for x,y,z in (a,b,c):
    print x,y,z


12 [/c/CDListings][8] python fneeg.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "fneeg.py", line 8, in ?
    for x,y,z in a,b,c:
ValueError: too many values to unpack
