My guess is that the tuples are the way that Python's bytecode accesses the strings. For example, there is a LOAD_CONST i bytecode whose argument i is an index into the stack frame (or is it the code objects). Anyway, my guess is that strings seldom (never?) exist outside the tuple by which they are referenced. So I think this answers the mystery, mostly. Edward Edward K.
