0 isn't the list it is the index, it isn't necessarily a list either. It is the first part of the output from the function called in the .format(), it looks for the first part of the output and takes that, in this case it is what we are looking to return and the function returns just one things, if you made it return two things you could use the 1 index.

My understanding is that is is accessing the 0th index (the first item) that is returned from the function in format, then it gets the username from this object and returns it

I guess that is more simple that we think. My view is that when we call top student() it return a tuple (username, points) from our list and to have access to username or the points we need first indicate index of tuple or dict and this always be 0 if use get() and then we pass a key what information we would like to show 0.points or 0.usrename or both.
