You can use isinstance or function like that:
>>> def list_from_string(s):
... try:
... s + ''
... return [s]
... except:
... return s
and then:
>>> def f(selecteddeptcodes):
... if selecteddeptcodes is None: return
... selecteddeptcodes = list_from_string(selecteddeptcodes)
... for dptcd in selecteddeptcodes: print dptcd
...
>>> f(['aaa', 'bbb'])
aaa
bbb
>>> f(['aaa'])
aaa
>>> f('aaa')
aaa
>>> f(None)
>>>
