(items)
return list(_flat_gen(items))
Returns a list of objects, flattening sublists/subtuples along the way.

  Example: _deep_flatten([1, (2, 3, (4, 5), [6, 7]), [[[8]]]]) would return
  the list [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8].

  Args:
    items: An iterable. If elements of this iterable are lists or tuples, they
        will be (recursively) flattened until non-list non-tuple objects are
        reached.

  Returns:
    A list of non-list, non-tuple objects.
Returns a list of objects, flattening sublists/subtuples along the way.
Returns a list of objects flattening sublists / subtuples along the way .
