Is it possible to split and assign a string in a single statement in Python?
<p>Can a string be split and some of the words be assigned to a tuple in Python.
E.g</p>

<pre><code>    a = "Jack and Jill went up the hill"
    (user1 , user2) = a.split().pick(1,3) #picks 1 and 3 element in the list.
</code></pre>

<p>Is such a one liner possible? If so what is the syntax.</p>
