Eric V. Smith added the comment:
As Martin points out, your first example is printing a string, not a tuple. The
parens here are not building a tuple, they are just used for grouping in the
expression, and are not doing anything in this example.
So my explanation still holds: everything is working as designed. The output of
the first two print statements uses str(astring), the second two use
str(atuple).
repr of a tuple is effectively:
"(" + ", ".join(repr(item) for item in tuple) + ")"
So when printing your tuples, Python is using the repr of each string in the
tuple.
Since this is not a bug or feature request, it's probably best to continue the
discussion on python-list.
