Multiplying tuples in Python

Question

I need to create a nested tuple in which some values are the same, so I tried multiplying them.

t = ((('a', 'b'),) * 3)
print t

Prints

(('a', 'b'), ('a', 'b'), ('a', 'b'))

Is there a syntactically nicer way to do this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

One way is not using as many brackets:

t = (('a', 'b'), ) * 3

works just as well.
