Inspectopedia 2025.2 Help

Tuple assignment balance is incorrect

Reports cases when the number of expressions on the right-hand side and targets on the left-hand side are not the same.

Example:

t = ('red', 'blue', 'green', 'white') (c1, c2, c3) = t

As a quick-fix, you can modify the highlighted code fragment to restore the tuple balance.
