Eh, I think they're just overdramatizing things. That's also exactly what I would have expected to happen.

- atoav 4y agoThe only thing that can sometimes bite you here is that str is iterable, if you expect a list of str and you only get a str and suddenly you iterate over the chars. I am not sure if it wouldn't have been better to make the conversion explicit here.

Python isn't even unique in this regard! You can iterate over a string whether you're working in JavaScript, C++, or Go. (And that's not even getting into cases like Haskell where String is merely syntactic sugar for [Char].)
