I don't think that's really right. The absence of first-class multisets in python does mean that lists get "abused" for that purpose, but I don't think that means that there's no legitimate use-case for a list (i.e. a mutable sequence in which position is significant). The difference between a tuple and a list is that one is mutable and the other is not. The difference you are describing is between a list and a multiset (or a tuple and an immutable multiset).
