I don't see how this is wrong.

My code works. I don't see why my code is wrong. Could someone, please, enlighten me. Thanks.

unpacking.py 
def unpacker(*args):

    args = list(args)
    val1, val2 = args[0], args[1]
    return val1, val2

val = unpacker('Python', 'rocks!')

Working or not, the code isn't doing what the instructions asked for.

They said, "Edit the variable assignment under the provided function...".   So you should not make any changes to the function itself, only to the bottom line.
