doesn't quite work if the data is in a string, though:

>>> x = """(1, "hey", "how's it goin, dude?")"""
>>> y = tuple(x)
>>> y
('(', '1', ',', ' ', '"', 'h', 'e', 'y', '"', ',', ' ', '"', 'h', 'o', 'w', "'",
 's', ' ', 'i', 't', ' ', 'g', 'o', 'i', 'n', ',', ' ', 'd', 'u', 'd', 'e', '?',
 '"', ')')
