tuples and cartesian coordinates

Hi,

I find it strange to use tuples for a coordinate. After all, a
coordinate represents a position of an object. Suppose I have a game
where the player has a position: isn't it stupid to use tuples rather
than lists or another type (maybe complex numbers?), because I want to
be able to change the position?

Shouldn't coordinates be mutable?

yours,
Gerrit.
