Access elements from nested tuples

[jss]

Hi Georg!

In [1]: t=(1,(2,3))
> I am bit suprised, that I cannot access '3' via:
> t[1].[1] # syntax error

> But t[1].__getitem__(1) works like expected.

In [2]: k=t[1]

In [3]: k[1]
Out[3]: 3

In [4]: t[1][1]
Out[4]: 3

In [5]: k.__getitem__(1)
Out[5]: 3

In [6]: k.[1]
------------------------------------------------------------
   File "<ipython console>", line 1
     k.[1]
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Note that:
In [7]: type(t[1])
Out[7]: <type 'tuple'>
just as t.

hth,
