R. David Murray added the comment: You did request a tuple:
r = a - q * b, That is equivalent to r = (a - q * b,) which is a single element tuple. I had to put in some print statements in your loop to find that, it wasn't obvious. This is perhaps a disadvantage of Python's tuple notation, but the benefits of the notation outweigh this small disadvantage, I think. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: -> invalid stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed type: crash -> behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16417> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
