Passing a list of lines to Ansi2HTMLConverter.convert() (or prepare()) used to fail deep inside the regex pass with "AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'replace'", which gives no hint about what was wrong or how to fix it. Two users reported hitting this (pycontribs#242). Check the input type once at the entry point and raise a TypeError that names the actual type and suggests joining the lines first.

Fixes #242.
Passing a list of lines to
Ansi2HTMLConverter.convert()currently fails deep inside the regex pass withAttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'replace', which says nothing about what went wrong. Two people reported hitting it, and the reporter's own workaround ("".join(ansi)) shows what the input actually was.This adds a single
isinstancecheck at the top ofprepare()(the common path for bothconvert()andprepare()) and raises:Behaviour for
strinput is unchanged. A regression test is included.Verified locally: all 42 tests pass, and the isort, black, flake8, pylint and mypy pre-commit hooks pass on the changed files.
