Convert tuple to list and back

list, python, tuples

Solution

Convert tuple to list:

>>> t = ('my', 'name', 'is', 'mr', 'tuple')
>>> t
('my', 'name', 'is', 'mr', 'tuple')
>>> list(t)
['my', 'name', 'is', 'mr', 'tuple']

Convert list to tuple:

>>> l = ['my', 'name', 'is', 'mr', 'list']
>>> l
['my', 'name', 'is', 'mr', 'list']
>>> tuple(l)
('my', 'name', 'is', 'mr', 'list')

Problem

I'm currently working on a map editor for a game in pygame, using tile maps. The level is built up out of blocks in the following structure (though much larger): ``` level1 = ( (1,1,1,1,1,1) (1,0,0,0,0,1) (1,0,0,0,0,1) (1,0,0,0,0,1) (1,0,0,0,0,1) (1,1,1,1,1,1)) ``` where "1" is a block that's a wall and "0" is a block that's empty air. The following code is basically the one handling the change of block type: ``` clicked = pygame.mouse.get_pressed() if clicked[0] == 1: currLevel[((mousey+cameraY)/60)][((mousex+cameraX)/60)] = 1 ``` But since the level is stored in a tuple, I'm unable to change the values of the different blocks. How do I go about changing the different values in the level in an easy manner?
