sz isn't required. You can use (n_iter,) in place of sz.
However, as I posted earlier, sz is shorter so it might make your code
easier to read.
Using sz can also lead to easier code maintenance. If the contents of
the tuple were ever to change, it would be much easier to simply change
it in once place (the definition of sz), rather than having to edit
several different occurrences of (n_iter,) in your code.
