11 Another generally useful object type is a tuple of object pointers.
12 For Python, this is an immutable type. C code can change the tuple items
13 (but not their number), and even use tuples are general-purpose arrays of
14 object references, but in general only brand new tuples should be mutated,
15 not ones that might already have been exposed to Python code.
17 *** WARNING *** PyTuple_SetItem does not increment the new item's reference
18 count, but does decrement the reference count of the item it replaces,
19 if not nil. It does *decrement* the reference count if it is *not*
20 inserted in the tuple. Similarly, PyTuple_GetItem does not increment the
21 returned item's reference count.
