Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:
Interesting, short string literals usually are interned, but they are not
interned in tuple literal.
>>> namespace = {}
>>> exec('a = ["abc123"]\ndef abc123(): pass', namespace)
>>> namespace['abc123'].__name__ is namespace['a'][0]
True
>>> exec('a = ("abc123",)\ndef abc123(): pass', namespace)
>>> namespace['abc123'].__name__ is namespace['a'][0]
False
>>> namespace['abc123'].__name__ == namespace['a'][0]
True
I think it would be better to change the compiler to always intern short string
literals. And patching namedtuple will be not needed.
