I think this is overkill and possibly wrong (and may have been wrong before, too); the code should probably just be: if isinstance(item, list): return item else: return [item] There's no reason to have a third option, unless you also want to convert tuples to lists — but in that case I'd prefer to have an explicit check for 'isinstance(item, tuple)' instead of explicit checks for strings and byte sequences. -- Brane
