I'm learning about Python. A book I'm reading about it says "... a string in Python is a sequence. A sequence is an ordered collection of objects". This implies that each character in a string is itself an object.
This doesn't seem right to me, but since I'm just learning Python I questioned the author about this. He gave an example the displays the ids of string slices. These ids are all different, but I think that's because the slicing operation creates objects. I'd like to suggest an explanation of what a sequence is that doesn't use the word 'object' because an object has a specific meaning in Python. Am I on the right track here?
