Converting list elements and sublists from int to str
#4
Does "with changing internal structures" mean that list in not always one level deep as in "inputlist"?

If list is only one level deep simple brute-force conversion should suffice. One possibility:

>>> inputlist=['Cities',14,'WACC',(32,'KHI',208.55567),['Stat',14,'RS0']]
>>> outputlist = list()
>>> for el in inputlist: 
...     obj_type = type(el)
...     if isinstance(el, (list, tuple)):           # alternatively: if obj_type in [tuple, list]:
...         outputlist.append([str(x) for x in el])
...         if obj_type == tuple:
...             outputlist[-1] = obj_type(outputlist[-1])
...     else:
...         outputlist.append(str(el))
...
>>> outputlist
['Cities', '14', 'WACC', ('32', 'KHI', '208.55567'), ['Stat', '14', 'RS0']]
