There ia no point in creating an emnpty tuuple. Tuples 
are immutable so this tuple will simply be thrown away.
It doesnm't do much harm, but it does no good either.

This creates a brand new tuple and is all that is needed.

BTW going by the names used are you sure a list of 
tuples is what you need? It looks like maybe a dictionary 
could be used instead storing the values against the cntr 
as a key. That would perform the role of borth list and 
tuple and make retrieval of the values easier later.

Just a thought.
