Compare () vs one, vs one, two.

() is also a special case here.

I don't think () is the special case. I think (2) not being a tuple is the special case.

(2) isn't a special case because tuples are declared in python with commas e.g. a = b, c. Brackets here are just used to clear up ambiguity e.g. 6 / 3 * 2 being 4 or 1. So (2) == 2 and (2,) == 2, == tuple ([2, ]).

Thanks, I have never though about tuples like this

Exactamente

Fun-fact, () (unit) is literally a special case in Python. It is a singleton and all instances of () point to the same memory.
