Well, there is a reason why the term 'sequence' was used.  It covers lists, tuples...and anything else that implements the Sequence ABC (http://docs.python.org/library/collections.html#collections-abstract-base-classes).

The word 'sequence' could be made a link to that section by doing:

  :mod:`sequence <collections.abc>`

in the Python3 docs (it would need to be a :ref: to the subsection in the python2 docs, I think).
