Python Named Tuples | Infographic

Python Named Tuples are basically like normal tuples but you can access their value with .fildname. Named tuples are also immutable.

Named tuples are basically easy-to-create, lightweight object types. Named tuple instances can be referenced using object-like variable dereferencing or the standard tuple syntax.

Python Named Tuples

Simple example code namedtuples.

import collections

Point2D = collections.namedtuple('Point2D', 'x y')

a = Point2D(3, -1)

print(a.x, a.y)

Point3D = collections.namedtuple('Point3D', ' '.join([*Point2D._fields, 'z']))

a = Point3D(3, -1, 2)
print(sum(a))
