Issue Creating Points from Tuple List

Hi,

_Maybe I'm too new to this but with a list of tuples, I should be able to create points. They are being created but it creates an incorrect location. The first image shows the first 25 tuple coordinates and a each item being read to show its type.

Here is the code at the moment:

arcpy.AddMessage( topLine_Tuple[:25])
for i in topLine_Tuple[:25]:
arcpy.AddMessage(type(i))
arcpy.AddMessage(i)

# Creates an Empty Feature Class
topline_FC = arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management(dataset_Dir, "topline0", "POINT")

# Cursor
with arcpy.da.InsertCursor(topline_FC, ['SHAPE@XY']) as insert_cursor:
for pnt in topLine_Tuple:
insert_cursor.insertRow([pnt])

...So it does create the points but all in the same coordinate (see next image). I'd figure that:

the tuple list is incorrect, maybe an array
the spatial reference is incorrect, it should be returning the feature class as NAD27 (spatial_reference=4267) or whichever
1. Its initialing an UTM projection (most likely)
I dunno, since it should be returning different coordinates

by the way, all the points created result in the same long, lat (even though they are different in the tuple)

on the 4th line you have a double ]]

and then a bunch of singleton locations. Remove one of the ] from that line and put it at the end of your point list
