title: How to pass tuple as argument in Python?
body: <p>Suppose I want a list of tuples. Here's my first idea:</p>
  
  <pre><code>li = []
  li.append(3, 'three')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which results in:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./foo.py", line 12, in &lt;module&gt;
      li.append('three', 3)
  TypeError: append() takes exactly one argument (2 given)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I resort to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>li = []
  item = 3, 'three'
  li.append(item)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which works, but seems overly verbose. Is there a better way?</p>
