This is more suited to comp.lang.python
Consider the below examples (and remember that strings are iterable)
>>> import itertools as it
>>> list(it.chain('ABC', 'XYZ'))
['A', 'B', 'C', 'X', 'Y', 'Z']
>>> list(it.chain(['ABC', 'XYZ']))
['ABC', 'XYZ']
>>> list(it.chain(['ABC'], ['XYZ']))
['ABC', 'XYZ']
>>>
Hope that helps,
