Beginner question: difference between lists and tuples
Hi, I am trying to learn python. I am working through a tutorial on python.org. I am trying to figure out how lists are different than tuples other than changing values at specific indices. How are these different from arrays in other languages such as php? THanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

That has some advantages, as when you append to a list. But it has some disadvantages, as here where I can't use a list as the key in a hash. d={[1,2]:'a'} Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in ? TypeError: list objects are unhashable d={(1,2):'a'} Jim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
