Detailed Description

Wrapper class for a list of strings to either be held in a std::vector or in a python list.

It's basically a std::variant with some convenince members to convert between the two representations.

This is necessary as python lists can only exist after Py_Initialize() and before Py_Finalize() and since we want this configuration class to work also in command line tools we need to be able to use std::vector unless python functions are called.
