In this case List[0] and List[1] are simple scalars - whearas List[2]
is a new list (or is this a "unPythonlike" way of thinking ??). Is
there a way of testing this, i.e.

for x in range(len(List)):
    if is_scalar L[x]:
        print "List[",x,"] is scalar"
    else
        print "List[",x,"] is not scalar - maybe a list?"
