        Creates a tuple of multiple ``PythonRequirements``.

        You should use the ``multiple`` method if you have more
        requirements from the same manager. This can receive both tuples of
        strings, in case you want a specific version, or a simple string, in
        case you want the latest version to be installed.

        This is the case where you would provide strings only, to install the
        latest version automatically:

        >>> REQUIREMENTS = PythonRequirement.multiple(
        ...             'coala_decorators', 'setuptools')

        And if you choose to mix them, specifying version for some and for some
        not:

        >>> REQUIREMENTS = PythonRequirement.multiple(
        ...             'coala_decorators', ('setuptools', '19.2'))

        In case you provide too many arguments into the tuple, an error will be
        raised:

        >>> REQUIREMENTS = PythonRequirement.multiple(
        ...             'coala_decorators', ('setuptools', '19.2', 'colorama'))
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
        TypeError: The tuple must have 2 elements.

        The same would happen in case you provide something different than a
        string or a tuple:

        >>> x = [1, 2, 3, 4]
        >>> REQUIREMENTS = PythonRequirement.multiple(x)
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        ...
        TypeError: The arguments need to be tuples or strings.

        :param args:       Should be tuples of strings: ``('packageName',
                           'version')`` or strings: ``'packageName'`` if latest
                           version is wanted.
        :return:           A tuple containing ``PythonRequirements``.
        :raises TypeError: In case the tuples contain with more or less than
                           two elements. Also raised when arguments are neither
                           tuples nor strings.
