Relevance of typename in namedtuple
namedtuple, python, python-3.x, typename
Solution
`namedtuple()` is a factory function for `tuple` subclasses. Here, `'whatsmypurpose'`is the type name. When you create a named tuple, a class with this name (`whatsmypurpose`) gets created internally.
You can notice this by using the verbose argument like:
Point=namedtuple('whatsmypurpose',['x','y'], verbose=True)
Also you can try `type(p)` to verify this.
Problem
``` from collections import namedtuple Point = namedtuple('whatsmypurpose',['x','y']) p = Point(11,22) print(p) ``` Output: ``` whatsmypurpose(x=11,y=22) ``` What's the relevance/use of `'whatsmypurpose'`?
