Oh dear, I am sorry. I have created quite a storm. Moreover, I am sorry because I misremembered what I had typed into Idle. My original tuple only had two elements, not three, so the slicing [:2] didn't affect the tuple at all - and so the second id() gave the same address as the first one.
So, yes, I am stupid - or just having senior moments (I am 65, after all). Stephen.
