Return the sequence or iterable *o* as a list, unless it is already a tuple or list, in
which case *o* is returned. Use :c:func:`PySequence_Fast_GET_ITEM` to access
the members of the result. Returns *NULL* on failure. If the object is not

Return the sequence or iterable *o* as an object usable by the other
``PySequence_Fast*`` family of functions. If the object is not a sequence or
iterable, raises :exc:`TypeError` with *m* as the message text. Returns
*NULL* on failure.
The ``PySequence_Fast*`` functions are thus named because they assume
*o* is a :c:type:`PyTupleObject` or a :c:type:`PyListObject` and access
the data fields of *o* directly.
As a CPython implementation detail, if *o* is already a sequence or list, it
will be returned.
