【已解决】python 3中dict取值报错：not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 2)

Python代码：

        announcementStrList = [
            "^更新公告$", # strict full match
            "^游戏公告$", # strict full match
        ]
        isAnnouncement = False
        foundResultDict, imgPath = self.isWordsInCurScreen(announcementStrList)
        for eachPossibleStr in announcementStrList:
            curIsFound, _, curImgPath = foundResultDict[eachPossibleStr]

其中返回的foundResultDict，是一个dict，且值是希望的，正常的值：

{'^更新公告$': (True, (...)), '^游戏公告$': (True, (...))}

但是调试时报错：

发生异常: ValueError
not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 2)

看起来，估计是：

dict（变量foundResultDict）中的key是特殊的字符串，此处的 “^更新公告$”，导致了此处错误

去研究看看如何解决

python dict not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 2)

Python 3 – ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 2) – Stack Overflow

python – not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1 – Stack Overflow

python – ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 2) – Stack Overflow

然后才注意到的是：

其实不是上述dict中key是特殊字符导致的，而是：

获取dict的值后，只有2项：

(True, (...))

但是却被赋值给了3个变量

curIsFound, _, curImgPath

而之所以把变量个数搞错，是因为刚才在优化函数isWordsInCurScreen，改动了之前返回值的逻辑。

所以此处解决办法很简单，去改为：

curIsFound, _ = foundResultDict[eachPossibleStr]

即可。

【总结】

此处python中的dict报错：

not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 2)

的原因：

不是：看起来的，以为的，dict中的key，’^更新公告$’，以为是包含特殊字符，导致无法获取到dict中的值呢

实际上是：通过key，获取了dict的值，返回后，本来只有2部分，却给了3个变量

即：

twoPartTupleDict = {
  "theKey": ("part1", “part2")
}

但是却：

(value1, value2, value3) = twoPartTupleDict["theKey"]

导致报错的。

实际上应该是：

(value1, value2) = twoPartTupleDict["theKey"]

所以此处把：

curIsFound, _, curImgPath = foundResultDict[eachPossibleStr]

改为：

curIsFound, _ = foundResultDict[eachPossibleStr]

即可。

【后记】
