> if I start a tuple with ( ('john","adams"))
Also, this is the same as ('john', 'adams')... it is just a tuple and not a tuple within a tuple ( ('john', 'adams'), ) (note the comma .. something of an idiom .. parenthesis do not create the tuple but rather the comma) would be a tuple containing exactly 1 2-tuple. Tuples being immutable means that they can not be sorted or modified, appended and members cannot be deleted. They are more suited toward holding some static data b/c they can not be modified in any way. Your += actually creates a new tuple. PEOPLE += (('john','doe'),) does "work" however. But, I think that when you get the hang of lists you will find that they are really powerful. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
