The reference to 'tuple' in the error message below seems misleading. Too many arguments have been passed rather than a tuple.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Temp\demo.py", line 3, in ? sys.stdout.write("a", "b") TypeError: argument must be string or read-only character buffer, not tuple
