Please give the full traceback, not just the last line, as it gives us a 
lot more information.  As it happens you're creating a tuple when you 
assign output, as it's the comma that makes a tuple, so unless I've 
missed something there's your problem.

Further advice is to slow down a bit, remember more haste, less speed. 
Walking away from the problem for a few minutes to clear your head often 
works miracles :)
