Yes, you are right. I also missed this one. I did not know that for 
lists l += [a, b] is equivalent to l.extend([a, b]) and not to 
l.append([a, b]).

However, the script was still working. I took a look and found that 
there is also code in PolyLine to make the list flat if it contains 
tuples or lists as elements.

Thank you very much for your quick responses and your effort. I am sorry 
that I used your time.

Best regards
