I'd much rather there were tuple delimiters.  The whole
comma-is-sometimes-a-tuple-constructor thing doesn't trip me up
as much as it used to, but it still bothers the purist in me. I
know, there are other things in Python that probably ought to
bother me more, but they don't.

It's a good sign when your major complaint about a language is
so trivial.
