[issue29813] PyTuple_GetSlice does not always return a new tuple

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

I think the docs are fine as-is.  Whether an identical tuple is new or not is an implementation detail.

IMO, the docs would create more confusion by trying to over-explain, "slicing of tuples always returns a new tuple when the result tuple is distinct from the original; however, in the case where the result tuple is not distinct, the implementation is at liberty to return the original tuple instead of a new tuple.  Since tuples are immutable, this should make no difference at all to the user."
