Alexander Belopolsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: My guess is that this is due to the fact that strings cache their hash values while tuples don't. IIRC, caching tuple's hash values has been proposed and rejected some time ago. Furthermore, dict lookups are heavily optimized for the case when all keys are strings.
