Type of get_filters functions changed from tuple to list

[ffourcot]

Hello,

I think that it is a good change since a list is easier to use at this place, but old pyroute returned before a tuple:

In [3]: IPRoute().get_filters(index=0)
Out[3]: ()

Now it's a list:

In [14]: IPRoute().get_filters(index=0)
Out[14]: []

I don't know if this is done on purpose. If yes, from my point a view, a simple "breaking change" in the changelog should be enough.

That wasn't done on purpose. Something to think about.

@ffourcot could you tell a use case where having a mutable (list) here simplifies the things for the user comparing to immutable (tuple)?

It's a tuple again, probably since the merge of #1344

So I'm closing this issue. I missing your previous question but no, I do not have a use case with a preference for a list.
