Add another tuple to a tuple of tuples

Question

I have the following tuple of tuples:

my_choices=(
         (\'1\',\'first choice\'),
         (\'2\',\'second choice\'),
         (\'3\',\'third choice\')
)
         


        

Answer 1

What you have is a tuple of tuples, not a list of tuples. Tuples are read only. Start with a list instead.

>>> my_choices=[
...          ('1','first choice'),
...          ('2','second choice'),
...          ('3','third choice')
... ]
>>> my_choices.insert(0,(0,"another choice"))
>>> my_choices
[(0, 'another choice'), ('1', 'first choice'), ('2', 'second choice'), ('3', 'third choice')]

list.insert(ind,obj) inserts obj at the provided index within a list... allowing you to shove any arbitrary object in any position within the list.
