But what about:
nt2 = ntuple(y=2, x=1)
? Does that mean that nt[0] == 2? Presumably, yes.
Does nt == nt2?
If it's False, then you've lost some of the advantage of using names instead of positions.
Sure. And if you use a dict, you've lost some of the advantage of using names instead positions too. I'm not sure a somewhat hacky use case (see my reply to Ethan elsewhere in the thread) justifies a builtin, but I can easily see using it myself if it did exist. Steve
