This would be usual:

set_of_workflows = [a_workflow]

Using the list() constructor directly is for when you have some other
iterable; for instance, a string is iterable over its characters:

>>> list("Hello")
['H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']

When you want to wrap up a single object in a list, square brackets
syntax is what you want.
