>>> a = (1,2,3,4)
>>> a
(1, 2, 3, 4)
>>> a.index(3)
2
>>> a.index(5)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: tuple.index(x): x not in tuple

So my Python is saying that tuples do implement .index() method. What gives?

Or maybe the diveintopython version he's quoting is out of date?
