Tuples are defined with regards to parentheses ()'s as everyone knows. This causes confusion for 1 item tuples since (5) can be interpreted as a tuple OR as the number 5 in a mathematical expression such as x = (5) * (4+6).
Wouldn't it have been better to define tuples with <>'s or {}'s or something else to avoid this confusion?? Perhaps ()'s are a good idea for some other reason I don't know? Please enlighten me as I really want to know. Chris P.S. I love Python! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
