You can use tuples, where 1. they're expected 2. you need a "list" that never changes (you can assign a new tuple, of course) 2a. constants AFAIK tuples are a bit faster and need less memory than lists, esp. with big datasets. see also http://docs.python.org/tut/ node7.html#SECTION007300000000000000000 Greetlings from Lake Constance!
