Sorry if this is a silly question (my first bug report), but it seems that https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#func-tuple
should say "class tuple" instead of just "tuple", as list, dict, and set do.

FWIW, built-in types page has the class prefix : https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple . Similar difference between range in the two pages.

I believe that this is a duplicate issue.  As noted before, filter, map, reversed, and zip are classes, but they return iterators and are documented differently.

Thanks Terry, I guess it's a duplicate of issue34118 .
