Surprisingly, it seems that there isn’t a backwards compatibility problem with changing the type to lists, as the following pattern still works:

# myproject/settings.py
from django.conf.global_settings import FILE_UPLOAD_HANDLERS
FILE_UPLOAD_HANDLERS += ('myproject.uploadhandler.FooBarUploadHandler',)

Proof:

 foo = ['abc']
 foo += ('def',)
 foo
['abc', ‘def’]

Well, technically, there is a potential backward incompatibility: += for lists is a synonym for .extend().

Proof:

>>> a = [1,2,3]
>>> b = a
>>> b += (4,)
>>> a
[1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> b
[1, 2, 3, 4]


>>> a = (1,2,3)
>>> b = a
>>> b += (4,)
>>> a
(1, 2, 3)
>>> b
(1, 2, 3, 4)
