Hi Petr, hi Paul, the struct sequence objects are in fact interesting!
About the "every instance" issue: Well, if I used something like the caching approach from Paul's post, like cached_namedtuple = lru_cache(None)(namedtuple) n1 = cached_namedtuple('f', ('a', 'b', 'c')) n2 = cached_namedtuple('f', ('a', 'b', 'c')) n1 is n2 which produces uniqueness, then I would need no explicit names. How about that principle, but with the struct sequence objects?
