This is a small excert to show you what I get

for choice in easygui.multchoicebox(msg1, title,qstack):
            if choice[0] == None:
                print ("No entries made")
                break


            print("CHOICE IS: ",choice)    .....         CHOICE IS:
('', 'ksals', '', '', '')
            c=list(choice)
            print("C IS: ",c)              .....      C IS:  ['(',
"'", "'", ',', ' ', "'", 'k', 's', 'a', 'l', 's', "'", ',', ' ', "'",
"'", ',', ' ', "'", "'", ',', ' ', "'", "'",
')']
