This document provides an overview of tuples in Python. It defines tuples as immutable sequences that are created using parentheses, and can contain heterogeneous data types. It notes that tuples can be used as keys in dictionaries since they are immutable. The document discusses how to create, access, change, delete, and test membership of tuples. It also compares tuples to lists, noting that tuples use less memory than lists since their elements cannot be changed.
