Does this work? (I can't check)

listX = ['933\t957', '955\t979', '969\t993', '1025\t1049', '1052\t1076',
'1098\t1122', '1136\t1160', '1298\t1322', '1406\t1430', '1422\t1446',
'1471\t1495']

listY = [ tuple(item.split("\t")) for item in listX]
tupleY = tuple(listY)

Subject: [Tutor] How to convert a list to tuple


Dear all, 
 Pardon me for asking a simple question.  Sometimes
brain gets blank and compells me to seek help from
tutors. 

I have a list :
>>>prcor
['933\t957', '955\t979', '969\t993', '1025\t1049', '1052\t1076',
'1098\t1122', '1136\t1160', '1298\t1322', '1406\t1430', '1422\t1446',
'1471\t1495']
>>> prc = ()
>>>for line in prcor:
        cols = line.split('\t')
        (x,y) = (int(cols[0]),int(cols[1]))
        prc = (x,y)
>>>prc
(1471, 1495)

Because the resulting element is a tuple, append is
not working. 

How can I push all these elements in this list:
['933\t957', '955\t979', '969\t993', '1025\t1049', '1052\t1076',
'1098\t1122', '1136\t1160', '1298\t1322', '1406\t1430', '1422\t1446',
'1471\t1495']

into a a big tuple :

((933,957),(955,979),(969,993),(1025,1049),(1052,1076),(1098,1122),(1136,116
0),
(1298,1322),(1406,1430),(1422,1446),(1471,1495))


Thank you.
