You should try to treat it as a list, catch the exceptions raise when it is a string (problably ValueError, TypeError ou Attribute error, depends on what are you doing), and then treat it as a string. This is the BAFP (better ask for forgiveness than permission) style, and is more accepted in duck-typing languages like Python then LBYL (look before you leep) style. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
