Wouldn't it have been better to define tuples with <>'s or {}'s or
something else to avoid this confusion??
The way I see it, tuples are just a way of having a function return multiple values at once. When you think of them that way, you don't even need parenthesis:
def foo():
if we_found_stuff:
return 200, 'long and boring result'
else:
return 404, 'nothing found'status_code, body = foo()
If foo() only needed to return one value, it would do so in the normal way, and you wouldn't need to worry about 1-tuples.
