Python is beautiful and is supposed to be a duck typed language, Yes?
Then if I create and assign to a new variable with a list action why does the
duck not quack?
It feels wrong to spend a line writing what is already obvious
def getsMeet(files=file_list):
"""Get a File or List of Files.
From the list of files determine
what meetings exist and prepare them
to be parsed

pyqFiles = []
for filename in sorted(file_list):
The parameter name if files, not file_list. The latter is just the default.
pyqFiles = pyqFiles.append(pq(filename=my_dir + filename))
return pyqFiles
You can replace the body with
return [pq(filename=my_dir+filename) for filename in sorted(files)]
where files is any iterable of file names.
