To be logic, I expect \[(\*item) for item in mylist\] to simply return mylist.

If you want simply mylist as a list, that is \[\*mylist\]

\[\*(item) for item in mylist\] with mylist=\[(1, 2), (3,)\] could return \[1, 2, 3\],

right

as just \[\*mylist\], so "unpack" mylist.

\[\*mylist\] remains equivalent list(mylist), just as it is now. In one case, you're unpacking the elements of the list, in the other you're unpacking the list itself.
