Because '+' applied to sequences means to concatenate them -- a more frequent need than "element by element addition" (which I notice you would NOT want to apply to strings, only to sequences for which it happens to be convenient for your specific app...!-). > How to elegantly achieve (3,"abcdef",10.5) as a result of addition ... If you mean "by using operator + on tuples", no way. If you're not hung up on syntax, e.g. def elemadd(t1, t2): return tuple(i1+i2 for i1, i2 in zip(t1, t2)) or any of several other ways.
