What implementation demand? If Python's designers wanted mutable strings or tuples, Python could have them. Python strings and tuples are immutable by design, not by accident of implementation. Wanting to make immutable class instances out of the same design considerations is perfectly reasonable. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
