[Python-ideas] Generator unpacking

[Edward Minnix]

Hello,

I am a new programmer and have been using Python for a few months.

I was experimenting the other day with unpacking (lists, tuples, etc.) And
I realized something:

when you type:

>>> a, b, *rest = count()

The interpreter gets caught in an infinite loop which I could not kill
without terminating my REPL.

Would there be a way to add generators to the unpackables, even if it was
only in the front?

Thanks,
Ed M
