Flatten a list/tuple and Call a function with tuples

[Jeff]

Sorry about that.  Hopefully, this should work ;)

def flatten(obj):
    if type(obj) not in (list, tuple, str):
        raise TypeError("String, list, or tuple expected in
flatten().")
    if len(obj) == 1:
        if type(obj[0]) in (tuple, list):
            return flatten(obj[0])
        else:
            return [obj[0]]
    else:
        if type(obj[0]) in (list, tuple):
            return flatten(obj[0]) + flatten(obj[1:])
        else:
            return [obj[0]] + flatten(obj[1:])


x = (1, 2, [3, 4, (5, 6)])
y = ([1, 2, (3, 4)], 5, 6)
z = (1, [2, 3, (4, 5)], 6)

print flatten(x)
print flatten(y)
print flatten(z)
