I have also been using python a long time and i honestly can’t remember a time i used mixed type list.

In my code this comes up often, e.g. when I use tuples instead of namedtuple or a dataclass.
Tuples aren't lists though. Tuples are really just structs with indexes instead of names.
Never have to handle/forward function calls with arbitrary arguments? What do you think *args is?
a tuple
I use mixed lists all the time to store shit, but I'm also a total python newb that really doesn't know better.
