:twiz: (npub1ygr…cg6z) It is funny, no doubt about that. Luckily it's something that most newcomers won't run into by accident, and therefore won't be confused by.
Python's been around for >30 years now. It has its share of historical baggage, and some of it trips up newcomers. Some of those could be fixed, but would break backwards compatibility. It's a tradeoff.
My favourite tripping hazard for the new:
>>> a = (6)
>>> a
6
>>> b = (6, )
>>> b
(6,)
>>> a == b
False
