Question

Is there a way to avoid “Unused variable” warning on get_or_create method?

level,created= Level.objects.get_or_create( name='Alumnes x Classificar')

because I don’t need to read created variable, IDE show a warning about this.

I know that a trivial solutions i to use variable, some thing like: if create: pass
But I’m looking for a more elegant solution.

See you!

One “standard” way of doing this is to use the _ variable:

level, _ = Level.objects.get_or_create(…)

_ is a “real variable” (insomuch as you can read from and write to it), but it’s generally understood to mean “ignored”.
