Why does slicing a tuple returns a new tuple instead of a view of the existing one, given that tuples are immutable ?
really?
Truea = 1, 2, 3 b = a[:] a is b
My impression was that full tuple copies didn't actually copy, but that slicing a subset of a tuple might. Not exactly sure how to test this, but:
py> a = 1, 2, 3 py> a[:2] is a[:2] False
So _something_ at least is different between the two slices...
