It should work.Are you using an old version of Python?

I forgot to mention:
>>> mytup=("fred","barney")
>>> tuple.__getitem__(mytup,0)
'fred'

I don't think the tuple name is working as you expect. I don't know of any
reason to redefine "__getitem__()" the way you have done:
>>> class MyTuple(tuple):
... pass
...
>>> data = (1,2,3,4,5)
>>> t = MyTuple(data)
>>> t[0]
1
>>> tuple
>>> tuple.__getitem__
>>> tuple.__getitem__(0)
Tracebac
