I don't remember exactly where I read about it, but Guido said once that tuples are being kept mainly for historical reasons. This is what Python uses internally from the beginning and it's just an implementation detail that makes sense in some contexts. Although I guess you can ignore them and use only lists instead if you want.. luis -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
