In the OP's case using sqlite drivers, this is true.  However, I
maintain some old 2.4 code that uses a correspondingly ancient version
of mx.ODBC which requires a tuple and raises an exception on any other
iterable.  So I always use a tuple out of habit, even if it would be
easier to just use some other iterable.
