it generated a new object, did not change the original. hint: notice the output is a list, not a tuple! On August 2, 2017 1:01:31 PM MDT, C W wrote: >Dear list, > >I am a little confused about why Tuple can be sorted. > >Suppose I have the following, > >> aTuple = (9, 3, 7,

[Tutor] If tuple cannot be sorted, then why sorted() on a tuple is fine?

Dear list, I am a little confused about why Tuple can be sorted. Suppose I have the following, > aTuple = (9, 3, 7, 5) > sorted(aTuple) [3, 5, 7, 9] Why is it ok to sort a the class tuple? If it is invariant by nature, then wouldn't applying a function on it yield an error? Thanks!

Do both. If you’re making a package, create a __main__.py file as well so your package is usable with `python -m somepackage`. On the other hand, if you’re making things more akin to shell scripts, using just entry_points makes stuff harder, because you need to install the code (and write a
