nested tuple slice

[dimitri pater]

Thanks,
I have been trying this:

tuple = (('goat', 90, 100), ('cat', 80, 80), ('platypus', 60, 800))

index = 0
newtuple = ()
for item in tuple:
newtuple = newtuple + tuple[index][0:2]
index += 1

print newtuple

but it returns:
('goat', 90, 'cat', 80, 'platypus', 60)
which is no longer nested, and I need a nested tuple
