tuple versus list

[bonono at gmail.com]

In this particular case, it seems that (width,height) looks nicer. But
I think otherwise, list constuct is easier to read, even though it is
supposed to be slower.

With list you can :
[a] + [ x for x in something ]

With tuple it looks like this :
(a,) + tuple(x for x in something)

I think the list looks cleaner. And since you cannot concat tuple with
list, I think unless it looks obvious and natural(as in your case), use
list.
