How can I have one element list or tuple?

The following example returns a string type, but I need a tuple...<type 'str'>

I need that for a method parameter.
Thx

It is the comma, not the brackets, that create tuples. The brackets are
recommended for clarity, but aren't always required (except for grouping).
(1, 2, 3)

The only exception is the special case of an empty tuple, which you
create with an empty pair of brackets:

So for a one-element tuple:
('Parrot',)
