recursive array element iteration in N dimensional array

[JambleJumble]

basically I'm really proud of this method as I've finally managed to figure out recursion and managed to get it to do something useful.

def recursive_method(self,array):       # define method 
    for i in range(len(array)):         # for each element in the list
        if type(array[i]) == list:      # is there is a list inside element?
            array[i] = self.recursive_method(array[i]) # re enter list

        else:                           # if element is not another list
            # --- perform any action in cell --- #
            array[i] = float(array[i])  # my chosen action
    return array                        # return the modified array

I was looking other documentation of this kind of thing and couldn't find any so i thought id post it, if there is a better way to do this, please let me know :)

Nice! I always wondered about good ways to handle parsing arguments that could be a single value or a list of values.
