title: Is it possible to add comments on each line of a split up parallel assignment in Python?
body: <p>I have the following scenario: I have a function which returns multiple values:</p>
  <pre><code>def func(x):
       return x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4
  </code></pre>
  <p>I'd like to do the following:</p>
  <pre><code>a, # this is the x+1 value
  b, # this is the x+2 value
  c, # this is the x+3 value
  d = func(7) # and this is the x+4 one!
  </code></pre>
  <p>i.e. I want the simple assignment</p>
  <pre><code>a, b, c, d = func(7)
  </code></pre>
  <p>but with comments in between describing each variable.</p>
  <p>The function I have is obviously more complex than this, and so I'd like to include many details about each variable (1-2 sentences) that is output. Is there a way to do this? I tried adding a \ character before the # on each line as well as after the comment on each line, but neither work</p>
  <p>In my experience, one can call a function with multiple parameters, and do this sort of multi line commenting (without any need for \ characters)</p>
