I meant we could avoid checking "index" completely now with the new code
knowing how to expand, so IIUC it can be simplified to:

  if fname not in self.data:
      self.data[fname] = fdata
  elif type(self.data[fname]) == list:
      self.data[fname].append(fdata)
  else:
      tmp = self.data[fname]
      self.data[fname] = [tmp, fdata]
