It seems you are not getting any closer to your goal. Perhaps it would help 
if you could explain that goal clearly rather than describing the means you 
are employing to achieve it.

By the way, (42) is not a tuple, it's an integer. To turn it into a 1-tuple 
you have to add a ',':

>>> (42)
42
>>> (42,)
(42,)
>>> 42,
(42,)
