  I was watching a video of a David Beazley talk "Python
  Concurrency From the Ground Up" , where he wrote

can_recv, can_send, [] = select(recv_wait, send_wait, [])

  . Later, he clarified that he actually wanted to write

can_recv, can_send, _ = select(recv_wait, send_wait, [])

  and that he was surprised how the "[]" gave no error.
  ("I wonder why that works.")
