copying a tuple to a list..

[sergio@village-buzz.com]

i have a result tuple from a MySQLdb call that would like to change in
place..

i would like to copy it to a list, so i can modify it in place, but i
cannot figure out how to do it.

the result typle is

dataResults

and i thought i could do something like

dataList = []

dataList = dataResults

but that doesn't work very well..

anyway.. thanks for the help..

dataResults = (1, 2, 12)
dataList = list(dataResult s)

What you probably want:
source = (1, 2, 'three')
wanted = list(source)
