List from list isn't needed, nor list from tuple. That's what the * is 
for.  And for that matter neither is the str.splitchar() either.


class mylist(list):
     def __init__(self,*args):
          self[:]=args[:]


mylist(*[1,2,3]) -> [1,2,3]

mylist(*(1,2,3)) -> [1,2,3]

mylist(*"abc") -> ['a','b','c']

mylist(1,2,3) -> [1,2,3]

mylist([1],[2])  -> [[1],[2]]

mylist('hello','world')  -> ['hello','world']



Works for me.  ;-)

I always thought list([1,2,3]) -> [1,2,3] was kind of silly.
