How can I have one element list or tuple?

[nico]

The following example returns a string type, but I need a tuple...

>>var = ("Hello")
print type(var)

<type 'str'>

I need that for a method parameter.
Thx

var = "hello",

It is the comma, not the brackets, that create tuples. The brackets are
recommended for clarity, but aren't always required (except for grouping).

>>1, 2, 3

(1, 2, 3)

The only exception is the special case of an empty tuple, which you
create with an empty pair of brackets:

>>()

So for a one-element tuple:

>>"Parrot",

('Parrot',)
