Tuples are immutable, but that doesn't mean they can't contain references to mutable objects.

When you want to use a tuple as a key in a dictionary, Python checks if all members of the tuple are immutable. If one or more of them aren't, you'll get an 'unhashable type' error.

A while ago, I was also sceptical about the walrus operator, although I use assignments in expressions all the time in C++. But when I was perusing a library written Python the other day, I found five spots in which the walrus operator would make sense - eliminating one line of source code without readability suffering from it.

When you write in a language which uses curly braces for statement grouping, do you indent your code? ...? I thought so.

Of course you can. The first element of that tuple is a list, which is mutable, and can be sorted in-place.

Normal-sized HDMI connectors would be great, too.

Those small SMD resistors come on a reel, and they're typically much cheaper than 2 cent: more like 0.1 cent. Still, that's $1000 for one million units.

Have you tried Cython already? That's almost Python and much faster.

Remember QBASIC.EXE, too?

He makes 30 microscopic pictures of a beetle, pastes them together, prints it on huge panels (for a museum exhibition). But you can also view them on the website, including at high zoom levels.
