The irony that, x = (,) produces an error. Personally I would of thought it would be a better example of an empty tuple than anything else, but it still isn't that readable.
The use of dict/list/tuple/set seems to stand out a lot better, makes it readable! Else in a few years you'll have §x§ = !^!() Or maybe I am going crazy... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
