Return a small immutable named record.

Python: Use NamedTuple when callers need both tuple behavior and named fields.

Python snippet.py
from typing import NamedTuple
class Point(NamedTuple):
    x: int
    y: int
p = Point(3, 4)
print(p.x + p.y)
print(tuple(p))

Test inputs, results and environment

The exact published code ran in a dedicated Linux test container with prepared inputs. Unprivileged snippet process, external networking disabled, read-only root filesystem, and a fresh temporary working directory. Fixtures and output records are isolated from the application database. Testing covers this example and its stated checks, not every input, operating system, or runtime version. The Linux container shares its host's kernel; this is not a native Windows test.
