76An expression list containing at least one comma yields a
77tuple. The length of the tuple is the number of expressions in the
78list. The expressions are evaluated from left to right.

80<P>
81The trailing comma is required only to create a single tuple (a.k.a. a
82<em>singleton</em>); it is optional in all other cases. A single
83expression without a trailing comma doesn't create a
84tuple, but rather yields the value of that expression.
85(To create an empty tuple, use an empty pair of parentheses:
86<code>()</code>.)
