'tuple' object has no attribute 'pop'

first_4.py

def first_4(*p):
  i = 0
  v = []
  g = p.pop(0)
  if g == len(4):
    print(g)
  else:
    False
  #if i <5:
  #  for i in len(range(p)):
  #    v.append(p[i])
  #else:
  #  print(v)

first_4("hi", "there", "man", "tier", "cart")  

Error  'tuple' object has no attribute 'pop'

its kinda crazy because p.pop() should pop the tuple item off the list.. but it still doesnn't work. Maybe you can give me a hint into a new direction, i've worked on this for a couple days..

.pop() takes an item off the iterable, which changes the iterable in place. Can tuples be changed or are they immutable?
