AFAIK the socket module returns plain tuples in Python3:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html
Why not use named tuples?
For technical reasons: the socket module is mostly implemented in the C language, and define a "named tuple" in C requires to implement a "sequence" time which requires much more code than creating a tuple. In short, create a tuple is as simple as Py_BuildValue("OO", item1, item2). Creating a "sequence" type requires something like 50 lines of code, maybe more, I don't know exactly. Victor
