Well, I thought to throw this out for fun:
>>> listSet = set(dir(list))
>>> tupleSet = set(dir(tuple))
>>> listSet - tupleSet
{'sort', 'insert', '__reversed__', 'reverse', 'extend', '__delitem__',
'remove',
'__setitem__', '__iadd__', 'pop', 'append', '__imul__'}
>>> tupleSet - listSet
{'__getnewargs__'}
That would explain the major differences... =]
