title: How do you create an empty list of tuples?
body: <p>I'm trying to create a new empty list that will contain tuples when calling extend. Here's where I declare the list:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ticketData = list()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I loop through another list to add tuples to this list:</p>
  
  <pre><code>data = (0, requestor, subject, thetime)
  ticketData.extend(data)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I output the result it shows this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[0, 'Name', 'Test Subject', '03:31:12']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need it to be a list of tuples, not just a list so that I can use sqlite's executemany function. </p>
  
  <p>It seems straight forward, but I haven't been able to find an answer on here. Thanks!</p>
