Named Tuples
Named Tuples are awesome. They allow a coder to create very ad-hoc data structures while carrying enough identity information in the structure to treat them like types.
Here I create a Person type out of a named tuple.
>>> from collections import namedtuple
>>> Person = namedtuple('Person', 'first_name last_name user_id')
>>> p = Person('James', 'Dennis',...
