Couldn't find that mailing list sorry. There's only 1 for developers like you. 
Removing tuples would be backwards compatible. My plan would automatically 
convert tuples to lists. Just keep all the list code besides parenthetical 
symbols. Merge tuple and list code besides parenthetical symbols if you have 
to. You can hash 1 item lists.

I do believe in keeping commas to delineate items on a list. Commas are used in 
natural language lists not parenthetical symbols. Just because natural language 
programming languages don't have natural language perfected yet doesn't mean we 
shouldn't perfect it in python 1st. Of course natural language is easier to 
read and understand than this bug. Why did you say it's not easier? You didn't 
say yet. 

I already tested tuples to confirm your other concern applies to them but not 
lists. I said keep list code. The mitigation for that tuple confusion is 
probably in there. Because lists don't have that problem. I never said get rid 
of lists. I only said get rid of parenthetical symbol complaints. It will just 
work with hard science. Just test it.
