I thought readers would understand that an alternative to a class just meant you don't have to create one from scratch. Maybe not.

So is the case when you use `namedtuple`, which creates a new class. This is not an interesting gotcha.

Classes (the Python language construct) are how you implement records (the language-neutral concept) in Python.

It's ironic that the "There Is Only One Way to Do It" language has multiple bad ways to implement records though.
