Can you show some code demonstrating what you mean -- I cannot replicate? If you use the DAL to select data, it automatically converts the native data to a Python list, even if the list includes only a single item. So, if you do something like len(db.mytable(1).my_list_string_field), you should always get the length of the list, not the length of any single element in the list.
