Why do my nested python class instances become tuples?

Question

I have defined some classes:

class CustomParameter():
    def __init__(self, strFriendlyAttribName, strSystemAttribName):
        self.FriendlyAttribName = strFriendlyAttribName
        self.SystemAttribName = strSystemAttribName

class PartMaster():
    AttribNameList = ["Part Number", "Name", "Standard Part", "Part Type", "ControlledBy", "PIN", "Design Responsibility"]

    def __init__(self):
        self._UUID = None

        self.PartNumber = CustomParameter("Part Number", "V_ID"),
        self.Name = CustomParameter("Name", "V_name"),
        self.StandardPart = CustomParameter("Standard Part", "V508_isStandardPart"),
        self.PartType = CustomParameter("Part Type", "V511_PartType"),
        self.ControlledBy = CustomParameter("ControlledBy", "V511_ControlledBy"),
        self.PIN = CustomParameter("PIN", "BOECACPinItemNumber"),
        self.DesignResponsibility = CustomParameter("Design Responsibility", "BOECACDesignRpnse")

class Part():
    def __init__(self, PartNumber):

        self.PartNumber = PartNumber

        #This instance wraps
        self.PartMaster = PartMaster() #create new instance



test = Part("ABC")

I would expect it to test.PartMaster.PINbe an instance of CustomParameter, but instead it is a tuple. tuple: (<__main__.CustomParameter instance at 0x0000000002D724C8>,)Why is this and how can I do it wrong?

I would like to build my classes so that it test.PartMaster.PINreturns an instance of my CustomParameter class instance. Any ideas?

Since your instances of the vars class PartMasterare set with commas at the end whenever your class is initialized :)

Python interprets this:

x = 'test',

as:

('test',)

Try this instead:

def __init__(self):
    self._UUID = None

    self.PartNumber = CustomParameter("Part Number", "V_ID")
    self.Name = CustomParameter("Name", "V_name")
    self.StandardPart = CustomParameter("Standard Part", "V508_isStandardPart")
    self.PartType = CustomParameter("Part Type", "V511_PartType")
    self.ControlledBy = CustomParameter("ControlledBy", "V511_ControlledBy")
    self.PIN = CustomParameter("PIN", "BOECACPinItemNumber")
