indentation messing up my tuple?

I don't understand

I don't understand what you're saying here.


food and drink are both strings.  adding them together gives you a new
string.  putting parentheses around a string does not give you a tuple,
you need that magic comma to get python to recognize the expression as
a tuple.

As I said:

> > (food + drink + '\n') is not a tuple, (food + drink + '\n',) is


And since all you're doing with the data list is joining into a single
string, I still don't see where you need any tuples.
