There is a simple and obvious way to make sure you have a tuple by invoking the 
keyword/function in making it:

>>> a=('first')
>>> type(a)
<class 'str'>

>>> a=("first",)
>>> type(a)
<class 'tuple'>

>>> a=tuple("first")
>>> type(a)
<class 'tuple'>

That seems more explicit than adding a trailing comma. It also is a simple way 
to make an empty tuple but is there any penalty for using the function tuple()?

#+BEGIN_SRC: python
for n in ('first',):
    print n
#+BEGIN_SRC

Then, that will print 'first'. And please use Python3...
