Regarding that spec, I think there's something missing: given a list (or tuple!) of values, how do you turn it into an 'ntuple'? That seems a common use case, e.g. when taking database results like row_factory in sqlite3.
One obvious choice is to allow for construction from a dict with **kwargs unpacking. This actually works now that keyword arguments are ordered. This would mean either ntuple(**kwargs) or the possibly too cute (**kwargs) .
