Could you clarify that for me? I use tuples *a lot* and I really *NEED*
them - I'm building a lot of multi-tier reports where detail-level data
is pulled out of a dictionary based on a composed key. It is impossible
to build those dictionaries *without* using tuples.
So, I *need* those tuples, and they're far from useless to me.
For the rare, rare, rare cases where I *would* need an index function on
a tuple (I've never needed it):
class IndexTuple(tuple):
def index(n):
# your code goes here
would be sufficient, wouldn't it?
Best regards,
Bart
