A list of lists can be built top down. A tuple of tuples must be built bottom up, and each tuple must be built with one call to tuple(). But tuple(it) will take any iterable, so write, say, a generator that yields lower-level tuples. Terry J. Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
