I generally agree but it’s a bit more complex, for instance when you have a

In teaching Python, I find that analogs to other languages are helpful
in explaining Python even if a person doesn't know the other language.
sorted(set(open(somefile)))
is like:
cat somefile | sort | uniq # different algorithm, same outcome
or:
SELECT DISTINCT line FROM
That's rather vague, isn't it? Usually contains isn't nearly as
prescriptive as should be used for.
A co-worker with whom I discussed the matter these days also argued that a
language shouldn't prescribe as one uses a data structure, although I do
think conventions in semantics helps

Hello there!
I've stumbled upon this discussion on python-dev about what the choice
between using a list or a tuple is all about in 2003:

It's definitely something that should be put in some documentation,
probably at the point when people have learned enough to be designing their
own programs where this issue comes up -- before they're wizards but well
after they have learned the semantic differences between lists and tuples.

No, I don't think it belongs in the style guide. It is not about code
formatting or naming, it is about data structure design and API design.

This looks like an issue to be addressed at PEP-8 since it looks like a
styling issue.
I haven't seen any other recommendations there on how to use a certain data
structure, though.
