title: Recasting Python Variable
body: <p>In python I have a variable set as a string which is a username:</p>
  
  <pre><code>self.loggedInUser = "Hanna"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I have retrieved the user details as a list, I would like to reuse the variable:</p>
  
  <pre><code>self.loggedInUser = (0, "Hanna", "hash", "UID")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it possible to do this, probably the more important, is it bad practice?</p>
  
  <p>H</p>
