I have tuple in Python that looks like this:

tuple = ('sparkbrowser.com', 0, 'http://facebook.com/sparkbrowser', 'Facebook')

and I wanna split it out so I could get every item from tuple independent so I could do something like this:

domain = "sparkbrowser.com"
level = 0
url = "http://facebook.com/sparkbrowser"
text = "Facebook"

or something similar to that, My need is to have every item separated. I tried with .split(",") on tuple but I've gotten error which says that tuple doesn't have split option.

Python can unpack sequences naturally.

domain, level, url, text = ('sparkbrowser.com', 0, 'http://facebook.com/sparkbrowser', 'Facebook')
