This could be done, but it would be extremely kludgey. The main
problem is that there is no way in Python to determine the type of an
arbitrary object (Python usage of object). You can determine the
*class* of an instance, but you can't easily tell the difference
between a tuple and a string share most of their legal operations. I
have figured out one way to tell the difference between a tuple or a
string. Some example code is below:
def conv(key):
try:
foo = key + 'foo'
except:
return key
return (key, None, 'KSK')
That's a real kludge, but it is the only way to do it.
