- xonsh.lib.itertools.as_iterable(iterable_or_scalar)[source]#
Utility for converting an object to an iterable. Parameters ———- iterable_or_scalar : anything
- Returns
- literable
If obj was None, return the empty tuple. If obj was not iterable returns a 1-tuple containing obj. Otherwise return obj
Notes
Although string types are iterable in Python, we are treating them as not iterable in this method. Thus, as_iterable(string) returns (string, )
Examples
>>> as_iterable(1) (1,) >>> as_iterable([1, 2, 3]) [1, 2, 3] >>> as_iterable("my string") ("my string", )
