Hmm... while I don't support the proposal, I saw results at both links. Those links were the first good faith comments I saw from OP. A pretty large number of prominent projects use either: foo = bar[:n] + newval + bar[n+1:] Or: newfoo = list(foo) newfoo[n] = newval foo = tuple(newfoo) Somewhere in their codebases. I find that mild evidence in favor of the idea. But the pattern seems to be "occasionally in large-ish projects." On the other hand, looking through those examples in a cursory manner made me think about 75% of the time "why are they doing this silly approach?" and 25% "this is easy enough as is." None of them made me think "I wish I had a method/function."
