This is was closed and tagged as resolved in 2012. The status has not been
changed since then.
Using dict(a=1, ...) provides a workaround, but only when the keys are valid as
variable names. The general workaround is something like
helper([
(1, 'a'),
(2, 'b'),
#etc
])
The helper is necessary:
>>> [(1, 2)] * 5
[(1, 2), (1, 2), (1, 2), (1, 2), (1, 2)]
>>> dict([(1, 2)] * 5)
{1: 2}
