ah, sorry… forget that I said "just as it is now" — I am losing track of what's allowed in Python now!

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. Victor
