Eli Finkelshteyn commented on PIG-2529:
---------------------------------------

That's true. The original function worked for my original case, but something 
more general and useful would convert a bag of tuples to just a tuple of the 
items that were inside the tuples in the original bag (i.e. essentially 
flattening the original bag by one dimension). This converts:

    {(1,4),(2,5),(3,6)} => (1,4,2,5,3,6)

The function that accomplishes this is:

    @outputSchema("t:tuple()") 
    def bagToTuple(bag): 
        t = sum(bag,tuple([]))
        return t

> As per a conversation on the Pig user list, I think it makes sense to create 
> a PiggyBank for Python functions. To get us started, here's something short 
> and quick I wrote to convert a bag of single item tuples to one single tuple:
> @outputSchema("t:tuple()")

> def bagToTuple(bag):                                                          
>                  
>   t = tuple([item[0] for item in bag])                                        
>          
>   return t
