adding elements to python tuples

[Uwe Mayer]

Hi,

is it possible to append new elements to a tuple? I know tuples are
immutable and that this would mean to create a new tuple with one more
element, but how do you do it?

i.e. i have (1,2,3) and want to append 4:
(1,2,3,4) instead of ((1,2,3),4)

I wanted to use it as a return value of a function and an assignment, but:

(a,b,c),d = myfunc()

doesn't look nice to me. I intended to have

a,b,c,d = myfunc()

Thanks for any suggestions.
Ciao

Just use the + operator:

a = (1, 2, 3)
a + (4,) (1, 2, 3, 4) a (1, 2, 3) a += (4, 5)
a

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Maybe you could use this?

d=(1,2,3,4)
e=5,
d=d+e
d

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
