Hello, and thanks for your contribution!

I'm a bot set up to make sure that the project can legally accept this contribution by verifying everyone involved has signed the PSF contributor agreement (CLA).

Recognized GitHub username

We couldn't find a bugs.python.org (b.p.o) account corresponding to the following GitHub usernames:

@jiasli

This might be simply due to a missing "GitHub Name" entry in one's b.p.o account settings. This is necessary for legal reasons before we can look at this contribution. Please follow the steps outlined in the CPython devguide to rectify this issue.

You can check yourself to see if the CLA has been received.

Thanks again for the contribution, we look forward to reviewing it!

I don't think the else and indentation really improves the readability of the text here as it is implied by it being an another condition. For example something like this would suffice in my opinion

Assignment of an object to a target list, optionally enclosed in parentheses or
square brackets, is recursively defined as follows.

* If the target list is a single target with no trailing comma,
  optionally in parentheses, the object is assigned to that target.

* If the target list contains one target prefixed with an asterisk, called a
  "starred" target: <...>

* Otherwise the object must be an iterable with the same number of items as there
  are targets in the target list, and the items are assigned, from left to
  right, to the corresponding targets.

@Numerlor, I agree, but I only want to eliminate duplication in this PR as it is obviously wrong. As for the content itself, I will leave it to the python maintainer.

This PR is stale because it has been open for 30 days with no activity.

Thanks @jiasli for the PR, and @JelleZijlstra for merging it 🌮🎉.. I'm working now to backport this PR to: 3.9, 3.10.
