To create a tuple with one element, you need to do this: >>> my_tuple = (1,) # Note the trailing comma after the value 1 >>> type(my_tuple) <type 'tuple'>
But if you do this >>> my_tuple = (1) >>> type(my_tuple) <type 'int'> you don't get a tuple. I thought that just putting a value inside ( ) would make a tuple. Apparently that is not the case. I hate ugly code so it would be clean if Python would convert anything put into ( ) to be a tuple, even if just one value was put in (without having to use that ugly looking comma with no value after it). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
