endswith also accepts a tuple

Have you ever written something like this?
fname = 'movie.avi'
if fname.endswith('avi') or fname.endswith('mp4'):
print("It's a movie.")
The function endswith also accepts a tuple. Just saying.
fname = 'movie.avi'
if fname.endswith(('avi', 'mp4')):
print("It's a movie.")
Meaning: if it ends as ‘avi‘ or ‘mp4‘, then…
This also works with startswith, of course.
Thanks to one of my students, Marton Sz. who solved one of his exercises using this trick.
