The whole *point* is that namedtuples let you use *named fields* rather than indices. That's the point. That's the purpose.
What are the named fields supposed to be if the datastructure is being treated as a sequence? Indices again? Then what's the point of using namedtuple rather than tuple in the first place? Again, I direct you to Christopher's comment on the matter. ------- Original Message ------- On Monday, March 14th, 2022 at 1:07 PM, Chris Angelico <ros...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, 15 Mar 2022 at 04:02, wfdc w...@protonmail.com wrote: > > > > A namedtuple IS a sequence.
