Ever since we had this exchange (February 2003) I've been trying to remember 
to do the bottom one.  I was just about to add it to the coding standards doc

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/mnet/mnet_new/doc/coding_standards.html?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/html

(which all Mnet Hackers should print out and hang next to their computer),
when I realized that it is inconsistent with the way we declare new tuples:

mynewtup = ("spam", eggs, 2,)

So I had a new question for all Mnet coders.  Which of these three do you 
prefer:

(spam, eggs, bacon,) = self.fetch_breakfast()

def fetch_breakfast(self):
    return (self.fetch_spam(), self.eggs, "yummy!",)

# or:

spam, eggs, bacon, = self.fetch_breakfast()

def fetch_breakfast(self):
    return self.fetch_spam(), self.eggs, "yummy!",

# or:

spam, eggs, bacon, = self.fetch_breakfast()

def fetch_breakfast(self):
    return (self.fetch_spam(), self.eggs, "yummy!",)
