Because your tuple spans multiple lines I think you 
will need to put parens round it.

>>> a,b,c,d
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'a' is not defined
>>> (a,b,c,d
...     

So starting with a paren tells Python to ignore the newline.
Without it it gets confused about what you want to do.
