Sorry, I should have said explicitly that I liked Greg's suggestion of modeling this as an iterable-of-objects at the Python layer - I was just agreeing with Brett that those should be objects with named attributes, rather than relying on tuples with a specific field order. That way a passed in list of actions would look something like one of the following: # Three distinct classes, "FileActions" namespace for disambiguation [os.FileActions.Close(0), os.FileActions.Open(1, '/tmp/mylog', os.O_WRONLY, 0o700), os.FileActions.Dup2(1, 2), ] # Single class, three distinct class constructor methods [os.FileAction.close(0), os.FileAction.open(1, '/tmp/mylog', os.O_WRONLY, 0o700), os.FileAction.dup2(1, 2), ] While my initial comment supported having 3 distinct classes, writing it out that way pushes me more towards having a single type where the constructor names match the relevant module function names.
