<p dir="ltr">This looks like an issue to be addressed at PEP-8 since it looks like a styling issue.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I haven't seen any other recommendations there on how to use a certain data structure, though.</p>

<div dir="ltr">It's definitely something that should be put in some documentation, probably at the point when people have learned enough to be designing their own programs where this issue comes up -- before they're wizards but well after they have learned the semantic differences between lists and tuples.<br>
