Well in Python a list is mutable and a tuple is not.
Right, but he's asking why dtml-in treats tuples in a special way, and exactly what that behavior is.
That's right :-)
..and in particular why it's so weird. It seems to do something like use return the last element of the tuple rather than return the tuple object...
Looking at the code, it appears that if you pass a list of two-element tuples, dtml-in will sort by the first element of each pair and render the second element. If, on the other hand, you pass a list of lists, it won't try to sort that way. Shane
