The patch is already submitted: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1696444&group_id=5470&atid=305470 I won't miss tuple.index very often if it never gets in, but it's always enlightening/entertaining to see the rationales given for the rejection of this and other features, in contrast to things like "y if x else z" which just seem to mysteriously acquire momentum and then power their way in regardless.
