Hi, all! I found out different behavior of python interpeter related to tuples and lists with one item only.
I have simple example
print type(())
<type 'tuple'> it's ok, we have just constructed empty tuple
print type((4))
<type 'int'> but when i add exactly one item to my tuple i get atomaric int instead of tuple!!! why?
print type((4,))
<type 'tuple'> this problem can be avoided by adding comma after first item
print type([4])
<type 'list'> but finally, python constructs list with one item without any problem. So, the main question is why using syntax like [X] python constuct list with one item, but when i try to construct tuple with one item using similar syntax (X) python do nothing? P.S. python 2.4
