>>> seq1 = [(1, 'red'), (2, 'blue'), (3, 'green')]
>>>[list(item) for item in seq1]
[[1, 'red'], [2, 'blue'], [3, 'green']]
>>>

It's still returning a list of tuples:

seq1 = [(1, 'red'), (2, 'blue'), (3, 'green')][list(item) for item in seq1]
print seq1

>>>
[(1, 'red'), (2, 'blue'), (3, 'green')]
>>>

You are not making an assignment of the new structure to seq1.

You can also use a for() loop if you don't understand list comprehensions. Iterate through the list, cast each tuple to a list, and append this list to a new, outer list.
