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.
