In an attempt to frustrate my Obfuscated Python contests, Guido added
( it's in 1.1 at least, maybe before - I don't remember ) a builtin
function 'tuple' that converts any sequence into a tuple:
>>> tuple( [1,2,3] )
(1, 2, 3)
>>> tuple( 1,2,3 )
(1, 2, 3)
>>> tuple( 'abc' )
('a', 'b', 'c')
>>> import array
>>> tuple(array.array( 'i' , range( 10 ) ))
(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
