Hi I am not sure if this has been asked before, I always gets mixed up using tuples and lists for defining stuff in django framework, eg. you need to use tuples to define list_display, list_filters in admin.py and use lists to define search_fields & ordering fields.
It’s hard to remember these things, is there a reason not to consolidate it?
I don’t know where you got that idea. Tuples and lists are interchangeable for most purposes in Python, and Django is no exception. Both are valid for all of these uses.
