Syntax error iterating over tuple in python

I am new to Python and am unsure of the best way to iterate over a tuple.

The syntax 

for i in tuple
    print i

causes an error. Any help will be much appreciated! I am a ruby programmer new to python.

for i in my_tuples_name:
    print i

You don't iterate over the keyword tuple, you iterate over your variable.

That is an error because the syntax is invalid, add a colon:

for i in tup:
    print i

Also, you should not use tuple as the name for a variable, as it is the name of a built-in function.

You seem to have forgotten a colon.

for i in my_tuple:
    print i

Also look at this related answer.

EDIT: And I didn't notice you were iterating over the keyword tuple, as noted. by F.J. and Jakob Bowyer.
