Just putting parentheses around something can change the type, if you pick 
the right example:

>>> def p(x):
	print type(x)

	
>>> p(5,)
<type 'int'>
>>> p((5,))
<type 'tuple'>
>>> 

And even closer to the list comprehension vs list containing generator 
example:

>>> [5,]
[5]
>>> [(5,)]
[(5,)]
>>>
