The append() method modifies the list in-place and returns None in
accordance with standard Python procedure.

Instead of changing to a list, just create a new tuple by concatenation:

     def mymethod(self, methodname, params):
         apply(methodname, params+something)

Just make sure that "something" is a tuple and everything will work fine.
