Maybe we are saying the same thing? The elements from which the tuple members are drawn need only be a sequence defined by a successor function. The values themselves need have no ordering nor, indeed, have any of the arithmetic properties of N. Of course you can always generate n-tuples of N and then map these to n-tuples of the intended sequence but that seems inelegant. -- Ben. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
