[Tutor] mixed tuples and lists to nested lists

[kevin parks]

Here is a problem i come up against frequently and i guess i should know this by
now, but i don't. Some times if you fiddle around with things you end up with a list
whose list elements contain not only lists, but nested lists, and *gasp* 
those Beckett-esque immutable tuples.

An example might be:

[(1, 100, 'w'), (2, 101, 'x'), (3, 102, 'y'), (4, 103, 'z')]

how do i change that to be:

[[1, 100, 'w'], [2, 101, 'x'], [3, 102, 'y'], [4, 103, 'z']]

A pathalogical example would be to turn something like
this in to a list of lists:

['abc',[(1,2), ([3],4)],5]

cheers,

back to the interpreter
