Question

Is there anyway to get tuple operations in Python to work like this:

>>> a = (1,2,3) >>> b = (3,2,1) >>> a + b (4,4,4) 

instead of:

>>> a = (1,2,3) >>> b = (3,2,1) >>> a + b (1,2,3,3,2,1) 

I know it works like that because the __add__ and __mul__ methods are defined to work like that. So the only way would be to redefine them?

Answer 1

import operator tuple(map(operator.add, a, b))
