I guess that the answer to my question is: there is no such thing as a
one-element tuple,
and Python will automatically convert a one-element tuple to a string... hence
the
behavior I observed is explained...
>>> a = ('hello','bonjour')
>>> b = ('hello')
>>> b
'hello'
>>> a
('hello', 'bonjour')

Hold on a sec! it turns up that there is such thing as single-element tuples in
python:
>>> c = ('hello',)
>>> c
('hello',)
>>> c[0]
'hello'
>>> c[1]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IndexError: tuple index out of range
>>>
So, my original question makes sense. Why was a discontinuation point
introduced by the language designer?
