Unintentional trailing comma that creates a tuple

pylintalready detects this as a problem (as of version 1.7).

For example, here’s my tuple.py:

"""Module docstring to satisfy pylint"""

def main():
    """The main function"""
    thing = 1,
    print(type(thing))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

$ pylint tuple.py

  In Python, a tuple is actually created by the comma symbol, not by the
  parentheses. Unfortunately, one can actually create a tuple by misplacing a
  trailing comma, which can lead to potential weird bugs in your code. You
  should always use parentheses explicitly for creating a tuple. This message
  belongs to the refactoring checker. It can't be emitted when using Python <
  3.0.
