Single elements of a tuple a can be accessed -in an indexed array-like fashion-
via a[0], a[1], ... depending on the number of elements in the tuple.
If your tuple is a=(3,"a")
a[0] yields 3,a[1] yields "a"def tup():
return (3, "hello")
tup() returns a 2-tuple.
In order to "solve"
i = 5 + tup() # I want to add just the three
you select the 3 by
tup()[0| #first element
so in total
i = 5 + tup()[0]
Go with namedtuple that allows you to access tuple elements by name (and by index). Details at https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.html#collections.namedtuple
>>> import collections
>>> MyTuple=collections.namedtuple("MyTuple", "mynumber, mystring")
>>> m = MyTuple(3, "hello")
>>> m[0]
3
>>> m.mynumber
3
>>> m[1]
'hello'
>>> m.mystring
'hello'
