Converting a deque object into list

Question

Currently, I fetch "list" data from my storage, "deque" it to work with that data.

After processing the fetched data, I have to put them back into the storage. This won't be a problem as long as I am not forced to use Python's standard "list" object to save this data.

Storage Service: Google Appengine.

My work-around would be:

dequeObj = deque(myData)
my_list = list()
for obj in dequeObj:
    my_list.append(obj)

but this seems not very optimal.

Answer 1

>>> list(collections.deque((1, 2, 3)))
[1, 2, 3]
