Inserting an item in a Tuple [duplicate]


You can cast it to a list, insert the item, then cast it back to a tuple.

a = ('Product', '500.00', '1200.00')a = list(a)a.insert(3, 'foobar')a = tuple(a)print a>> ('Product', '500.00', '1200.00', 'foobar')


Since tuples are immutable, this will result in a new tuple. Just place it back where you got the old one.

sometuple + (someitem,)


You absolutely need to make a new tuple -- then you can rebind the name (or whatever reference[s]) from the old tuple to the new one. The += operator can help (if there was only one reference to the old tuple), e.g.:

thetup += ('1200.00',)

does the appending and rebinding in one fell swoop.
