Hi everybody,
I have a question about the difference of behavior of "len" when applied on
tuples or on lists. I mean:
$ len( ( 'foo', 'bar' ) )
2
$ len( ( 'foo' ) )
3
$ len( [ 'foo', 'bar' ] )
2
$ len( [ 'foo' ] )
1
Why this behavior for the length computation of a tuple?
For my application, I prefer the behavior of length for a list. If I want to
store some values in a tuple because they should not be modified, the case
where the tuple contains only one element bothers me.
Thanks
Julien
