Is anyone truly attached to nested tuple function parameters; def fxn((a,b)): print a,b? At one of the PyCon sprints Guido seemed
okay with just having them removed when Jeremy asked about ditching
them thanks to the pain they caused in the AST branch. I personally
don't see them being overly useful thanks to assignment unpacking.
Plus I don't think they are used very much (gut feeling, though, and
not based on any grepping).
Would anyone really throw a huge fit if they went away? I am willing to write a PEP for their removal in 2.6 with a deprecation in 2.5 if people are up for it. Otherwise I say they should definitely go in Python 3.
