By wicked things with ctypes, do you mean something like this? By no means
do I suggest this actually be used by anybody for any reason.
Tested with '2.7.10 (default, Jul 14 2015, 19:46:27) \n[GCC 4.2.1
Compatible Apple LLVM 6.0 (clang-600.0.39)]'
import ctypes
def changeTuple(tuple, index, newValue):
obj = ctypes.cast(id(tuple), ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_long))
obj[3+index] = id(newValue)
>>> a = ('a','b','c')
>>> changeTuple(a, 0, 1)
>>> a
(1, 'b', 'c')
>>> changeTuple(a, 1, 3)
>>> a
(1, 3, 'c')
