Do you say tupple to rhyme with couple, or tewple, to rhyme with 'you pull'?

The term is used in #Python (where I've always called it tewple) and in relational #Database theory, where Ted Codd says you should say tupple.

I discovered this because I've just been reading papers by Codd and Date. I've been reading them as background to rashell, a relational algebra teaching tool written in Python.

rashell is on GitHub at https://github.com/romilly/rashell. l think it's a great way to explore relational concepts.

More about rashell soon.
