ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 4, got 1) in sypder

Question

 from sys import argv

 script, first, second, third = argv

 print('The script is called'), 'script'
 print('The first varrible is'), 'first'
 print('The second varrible is'), 'second'
 print('The Third Varrible is'), 'third'

It keeps prompting This Value Error in Spyder

That's what the problem is. `script, first, second, third = argv` requires `argv` to have four elements. What are you trying to do? What should the values be? — 3novak, Dec 02 '16 at 21:14

Yes, I came across this problem at first as well. I used Command to run the code from Notepad+.

C:\Users\kxyde>Desktop\Python\ex13.py This command is wrong, since you need three values, you have to type in three after "ex13.py" (Shown below is the right one) :

C:\Users\kxyde>Desktop\Python\ex13.py first 2nd 3rd

Then, problem solved!!

You could also decide to add the other three arguments in command prompt when trying to view the output, as shown here ---> How to add the three other arguments

Note

Do remember that

"c:\Users\Empress\Desktop\mystuff\ex3.py"

is where the location of my python file is and it had to be entered inorder to get the output of my editied code in the python file.

Hope that helps.
