Says "not enough values to pack, expected 2 got 0.

def unpacker(*args): first, second = args return first,second

unpacker('Python', 'rocks!') val1, val2 = unpacker()

unpacking.py 
def unpacker(*args):
    first, second = args
    return first,second

This is all you needed to do:

def unpacker(*args):
    return args

val1, val2 = unpacker('Python', 'rocks!')

It confused me a tad on the first read, but it just wants you to save the output from calling it into two variables.
