It is useful for making a value given to you an iterable before operating on it. Iterables have their items returned. scalars are transformed into iterables. A string is treated as a scalar value unless the <tt class="xref py py-attr docutils literal"><span class="pre">include_string</span></tt> parameter is set to <a class="reference external" href="http://docs.python.org/library/constants.html#True" title="(in Python v2.7)"><tt class="xref py py-data docutils literal"><span class="pre">True</span></tt></a>.
