[].extend only accepts list?

the extend method checks to see if the argument is a list.  You
can easily get past this by using the list() function

y = ["one", 2, "three"]

y.extend(list(("four", 5.0, 3*2)))

y -> ["one", 2, "three", "four", 5.0, 6]

you can use this method with any sequence, including strings, and tuples.
