A function that I wrote works on a list or on a string. If the
function is passed a string, then it wraps the string in a list at the
top of the function. Is it bad form to wrap the sting in place?
if not isinstance(someVar, list):
someVar = [someVar]
To avoid that, I am creating a list then appending the original value:
if not isinstance(someVar, list):
temp = someVar
someVar = []
someVar.append(temp)
Is my prudence unwarrented?
Thanks!
