Comment (by Daniel Pope <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>):
tuples behave like immutable lists, but tuple-literal syntax is worse for
describing lists (understandable if the intention was not for them to be
used as lists).
tuples are negligibly faster than lists:
{{{
mauve-desktop:~/dev/Django-1.0$ python -m timeit -s "a = range(1000)" "for
i in a: pass"
10000 loops, best of 3: 50.4 usec per loop
mauve-desktop:~/dev/Django-1.0$ python -m timeit -s "a =
tuple(range(1000))" "for i in a: pass"
10000 loops, best of 3: 49.3 usec per loop
}}}
