Answer
No, the slice operator does not always produce a new tuple. If the slice operator is applied on a tuple and the result is the same tuple, then it will not produce a new tuple, it will return the same tuple as shown in the example below:
a = (1, 2, 3)
print(a[:])
Slicing tuple a using a[:] results in the same tuple. Hence, in this case, slice operator will not create a new tuple. Instead, it will return the original tuple a.
