Hello All !
In my code I try to use a generic approach to work with tuples. Let
"X" be a tuple.
When I want to access a first element of a tuple, I can write: "X[0]".
And that is really working when X is a n-arity tuple, with n>1 (for
example "foo( (1,2,3) )" ).
But when I call my library function with a 1-arity tuple (for example
"foo( (1) )" ) I have an error:
TypeError: 'int' object is unsubscriptable
How could I tell Python that "(1)" is not an integer, but an one-arity tuple ?
Tuples in Python are recognized/defined not by the brackets, but by
the commas; the brackets just function to specify the exact beginning
and ending of the tuple in cases where that is not directly clear.
"(1,2,3)" is a tuple, but "1,2,3" is also the same tuple. A 1-tuple
can be created as "1," or "(1,)".
The only exception is the 0-tuple (). No comma.
