Thanks for proving my point! A comma, and yet we did *not* get a tuple
from it.
Um, sorry, I don't quite get you. Are you agreeing or disagreeing with
me? I spent half of yesterday reading the static typing thread over on
Python-ideas and it's possible my brain has melted down *wink* but I'm
confused by your response.
My point is that commas don't always make a tuple, and your example above is a case in point: we have a comma
separating two context managers, but we do not have a tuple, and your comment even says so.
is a poor argument (that is, I'm disagreeing with it), since *single*
line parens-free with statements are already syntactically a tuple:
with spam, eggs, cheese: # Commas make a tuple, not parens.
This point I do not understand -- commas /can/ create a tuple, but don't /necessarily/ create a tuple. So,
semantically: no tuple. Syntactically: I don't think there's a tuple there this way either. I suppose one of us should
look it up in the lexar. ;)
