I've recently come across something that I'd like some comments on. It's a stylistic issue so not something that there's an objective answer for. Nevertheless.
I have a function that gets some statistics from some source and returns it to the user as a Stats object. Let's call it get_stats. This has a parameter `consolidate`. If consolidate is True, it will combine all the statistics and return just one Stats object. If not, it will return a list of Stats objects. The problem now is that this function sometimes returns a single thing and some times a list. I don't like this since I have to alter my calling code to handle this. I'm surprised that I've never hit this before and I'm not really sure how to handle it.
