This isn't anything to do with reverse(). It's a Python thing. The
"args" argument has to be a sequence. A list or a tuple, for example. In
Python, this is a tuple:
('a',)
So is this:
('a', 'b')
This, however, is not a tuple (a tuple must contain at least one comma,
whether separating two or more items, or following a single item):
('a')
(it's a one-character string). Now, a string is also a sequence, so if
you pass in:
('fred')
anything expecting a sequence will be able to iterate over that, getting
respective elements of 'f', 'r', 'e' and 'd'. However, that's almost
certainly not what you meant and it's different from ('fred',) -- which
has a trailing comma and is thus a one-tuple.
