    <p>Absolutely (for the example you provided).</p> <h3>Tuples are first class citizens in Python</h3> <p>There is a builtin function <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#divmod" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>divmod()</code></a> that does exactly that.</p> <pre><code>q, r = divmod(x, y) # ((x - x%y)/y, x%y) Invariant: div*y + mod == x </code></pre> <p>There are other examples: <code>zip</code>, <code>enumerate</code>, <code>dict.items</code>. </p> <pre><code>for i, e in enumerate([1, 3, 3]): print "index=%d, element=%s" % (i, e) # reverse keys and values in a dictionary d = dict((v, k) for k, v in adict.items()) # or d = dict(zip(adict.values(), adict.keys())) </code></pre> <p>BTW, parentheses are not necessary most of the time. Citation from <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html?highlight=type%20seq#tuple" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Python Library Reference</a>: </p> <blockquote> <p>Tuples may be constructed in a number of ways:</p> <ul> <li>Using a pair of parentheses to denote the empty tuple: ()</li> <li>Using a trailing comma for a singleton tuple: a, or (a,)</li> <li>Separating items with commas: a, b, c or (a, b, c)</li> <li>Using the tuple() built-in: tuple() or tuple(iterable)</li> </ul> </blockquote> <h3>Functions should serve single purpose</h3> <p>Therefore they should return a single object. In your case this object is a tuple. Consider tuple as an ad-hoc compound data structure. There are languages where almost every single function returns multiple values (list in Lisp).</p> <p>Sometimes it is sufficient to return <code>(x, y)</code> instead of <code>Point(x, y)</code>.</p> <h3>Named tuples</h3> <p>With the introduction of named tuples in Python 2.6 it is preferable in many cases to return named tuples instead of plain tuples.</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import collections &gt;&gt;&gt; Point = collections.namedtuple('Point', 'x y') &gt;&gt;&gt; x, y = Point(0, 1) &gt;&gt;&gt; p = Point(x, y) &gt;&gt;&gt; x, y, p (0, 1, Point(x=0, y=1)) &gt;&gt;&gt; p.x, p.y, p[0], p[1] (0, 1, 0, 1) &gt;&gt;&gt; for i in p: ... print(i) ... 0 1 </code></pre>

    1. COThe ability to use tuples like that is so handy. I really miss having that ability in Java some times.

    2. COThanks a lot for mentioning Named tuples. I've been looking for something like this.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
