That's just print() printing a tuple.

| If you just need to convert a tuple to a list, that's easy. Call the

Supposedly he should not need to. From:

  http://www.ferg.org/easygui/tutorial.html#contents_item_10.2

the sentence: "The choices are specified in a sequence (a tuple or a
list)."

I do not believe that ksals needs to change anything.
