"A tuple consists of a number of values separated by commas" https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html#tuples-and-sequences "Separating items with commas" https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "Note that tuples are not formed by the parentheses, but rather by use of the comma operator." https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#parenthesized-forms Enough examples? Commas make tuples, unless context specifies otherwise. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
