I don't. I end up extracting them to separate variables. >>> foo = (12, None, "spam") >>> # ... >>> # much code, perhaps passing foo around as parameter >>> # ... >>> (bar, baz, wibble) = foo >>> # code using bar, baz, and/or wibble If they are eventually extracted to lists, then it generally makes no sense for them ever to begin as a tuple. -- \ "I have an answering machine in my car.
