An array is closer to a Python list - a tuple can be thought of as a "frozen list", if you like. Lists can be added to, removed from, and changed in many ways; tuples are what they are, and there's no changing them (the objects inside it could be changed, but WHAT objects are in it won't). Python has no strict match to a C-style array with a fixed size and changeable members; a Python list is closest to a C++ std::vector, if that helps at all. ChrisA
