It's more like the number 0 than the tuple (0,0). 0 is the origin on a 1-dimensional number line. (0,0) is the origin on a 2-dimensional number plane. In fact, it might be pointed out that Point(0, 0) is a generalization of 0+0j, which is equal to 0. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
