If the action of (x,y,z=0) on a tuple is regarded as a function call why not letting resolve it by the compiler in an appropriate manner? The tuple assignment is just a special case of this and can be resolved in a different way. There would be no slowdown at all. Regards Kay -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
