how to construct a list of only one tuple

[TP]

Hi,

If I do:

>>> a=("1","2")
>>> b=[("3","4"),("5","6")]
>>> list(a)+b
['1', '2', ('3', '4'), ('5', '6')]

I would like rather to obtain:

[('1', '2'), ('3', '4'), ('5', '6')]

Am I compelled to do:

>>> c=[]
>>> c.append(a)
>>> c+b
[('1', '2'), ('3', '4'), ('5', '6')]

Thanks

Julien
