Python 2.6.6 when I call .get on the results of a .get the result is a tuple. This is making no sense to me. Example:
box = {}.get('test1',{}).get('test2','hrmm'),
print type(box)
prints out
<type 'tuple'>
this makes no sense to me. clearly the default in the second get is a simple string. so what gives? thanks for any insight.

In Python the dict () method takes a list of tuples as an argument and each tuple store key-value pair element and it returns into a dictionary. Here is the Output of the following given code Let us see how to get a tuple as a key from a Python dictionary.
In Python to sort a dictionary by tuples, we can use the combination of dict (), sorted (), and lambda () function. In this example dict () method is used to rearrange the elements and reassigns the dictionary by order.
That means, a tuple can’t change. Use a tuple, for example, to store information about a person: their name, age, and location. Here’s how you’d write a function that returns a tuple.
The parentheses are optional, however, it is a good practice to use them. A tuple can have any number of items and they may be of different types (integer, float, list, string, etc.).
You have a trailing comma at the end of the line, so you are getting the result of {}.get('test1',{}).get('test2','hrmm') in a one-element tuple.
Here is an example of how this works with a simple literal:
>>> box = 1,
>>> box
(1,)
>>> type(box)
<type 'tuple'>
There is a trailing comma at your box assignment
