isinstance(arg[0], tuple)
... but I wouldn't do it that way. I'd use a list of tuples, not a
tuple of tuples, to allow for ease of building the sequence with
list.append, and two functions:
insert_one(("one", "two"))
insert_many([("one", "two")])
insert_many([("one", "two"), ("three", "four")])
Which of those 2 functions calls the other depends on which you'd use
more often.
