+* A new data type in the :mod:`collections` module: :class:`namedtuple(typename,
fieldnames)` is a factory function that creates subclasses of the standard tuple
whose fields are accessible by name as well as index. For example::
- >>> var_type = collections.named_tuple('variable',
+ >>> var_type = collections.namedtuple('variable',
... 'id name type size')
# Names are separated by spaces or commas.
# 'id, name, type, size' would also work.
