Not in CPython, because tuple items are kept in the same block of memory as the object header. Because CPython can't move objects, this means that the size of the tuple must be known when the object is created. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
