Works fine for me:
Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Sep 26 2009, 11:00:02)
[GCC 4.3.4] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> t = ('a', 'b')
>>> li = list(t)
>>> print li
['a', 'b']
>>>
>>> tu = tuple(li)
>>> print tu
('a', 'b')

Nothing in your example code is calling a tuple object. This makes me
suspect that what you showed us is not what you actually tried.
You might want to try the above session yourself and paste the resulting
session *literally* (rather than re-typing) as I did above, so we can
see what you're seeing.
