I was expecting 't' to be a two-tuple for it to work. Maybe writing it as:
for (x,y) in t
sort of helps to show that '(x,y)' is equivalent to one object in 't'.
That makes it look a little more cohesive in my mind, I guess, or helps
me to see it map out against 't' better.
Note that it's the *comma* in an expression list what creates a
tuple, *not* the parens. A similar rule applies on the target side of
an assignment:
x,y = (1,2)
(x,y) = [1,2]
[x,y] = 1,2
and all variations are all equivalent.
The left part of a for statement is like an assignment.
With this in mind, it's not surprise that
for (x,y) in t: pass
for x,y in t: pass
are exactly the same.
