This prints a float

This prints a tuple of floats

    (0.59999999999999998, 0.59999999999999998)

This prints a (length 1) tuple of floats
    >>> print (3.0 / 5, )
    (0.59999999999999998,)

The thing that may be tripping you up is that (val) is simply the
value, and (val,) is a tuple containing the value as the first
element.  As for printing a value versus a tuple of values, that's the
__repr__ versus __str__ distinction previous posters have referred to.
