Unpack to unknown number of variables?

Solution

Unpack the tuple to a list?

l = list(t)

Problem

How could I unpack a tuple of unknown to, say, a list? I have a number of columns of data and they get split up into a tuple by some function. I want to unpack this tuple to variables but I do not know how many columns I will have. Is there any way to dynamically unpack it to as many variables as I need?
