But in Python 2, the parentheses aren't part of the function call,

used for *grouping* terms together.
In the first line, the brackets group variable a, comma, myExample[a]
together. What does the comma do? It creates a tuple.
Sorry my question was rambling and imprecise. Thanks, I never would have
guessed the tuple issue, though it makes perfect sense the second you
say it.
The other part of my question was: how did you find that PEP? I started
looking, and it seemed like I could have taken hours, even though I sort
of knew what I was looking for. You must have had a reasonably efficient
search strategy/tool.
I'm there so often I've got the PEP index book marked :)
