-- -- Introducing helpers like argparser could be useful,
covering compiled python code (.pyc) files could be useful as well. Rahul Fiske, IBM

1.8 List and Tuple are marked as Unordered. List and Tuple should be marked as Ordered. Set is an example of an Unordered data type. Dr. N Srikanth Reddy, Presidency University
