python-3.x - 为什么python中的star解包会给出一个列表

Question

我很好奇为什么 python3 的星形解包返回列表实例而不是元组(函数参数中由星号返回)。这是 python 的特质，还是背后有充分的理由。

In [1]: def foo(*args):
   ...:     print(type(args))
   ...:     

In [2]: foo(1, 2, 3, 4)
<class 'tuple'>

In [3]: first, *rest = (1, 2, 3, 4)

In [4]: type(rest)
Out[4]: list

Answer 1

They figured a list would be easier to process:

After a short discussion on the python-3000 list [1], the PEP was accepted by Guido in its current form. Possible changes discussed were:

• ...
• Make the starred target a tuple instead of a list. This would be consistent with a function's *args, but make further processing of the result harder.
