Why tuples contain mutable objects¶

Stackoverflow often has some hidden gems where you can find Python core developers answering questions about the design of the language and best practices.

For example, today I ran across this great answer on tuples containing mutable objects. The answer is insightful and happens to be from the great speaker and core developer Raymond Hettinger.

Also, get excited for the upcoming Pycon by watching some of Raymond Hettinger's Pycon talks.
