Iteration of options fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

If you assign a single item to listFields, editFields, or readonlyFields it 
iterates through the characters of the string instead of treating it like an 
array. E.g. if I enter readonlyFields = ("date"), then I get the exception 
"<object> has no property d".

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect it to be "date" but it is just the first character

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
N/A

Please provide any additional information below.

You can fix it by checking to see if the object type is an array before your 
iteration.

For any other users encountering this, as a workaround do: listFields = 
(["date"]) instead of listFields = ("date")

The Python syntax for defining tuple with only one element is:
readonlyFields = ("date",)

Thanks for pointing that out, I've been away from Python for a long time. 
Converting to an array as per my example still worked for me though, obviously.
