List/Tuple bug or feature?

How does the above example resemble your original problem, though?

You said it's a list of constants.  Are they stored in a file?  In what
format?  Do you see where my questions are leading?  I'm basically trying to
find out how you happened to get:

  ['constant1', 'constant2' 'constant3', 'constant4', ..., 'constantn']
                           ^
                            \-- missing comma
