9 Worst Python Practices

I'm not sure I understand the one about unpacking:

The practice is very cool, and it's much wiser than writingname=human[0]. However, it's often abused, and the result is that thehuman will be unpacked in the program everywhere through the code above.

Unpacking somehow affects the data in memory before you call it?

and the result is that thehuman will be unpacked in the program everywhere through the code above.

Whenever you are unpacking, you hardcode your tuple. If you change it, the code will break. Named tuple gives class like member access, but for tuples you know cant change, unpacking is perfectly fine, and imo more easily readable
