I'm not sure I like the following suggestion better than the above, but throwing it out there anyway:
Multiadapter:
IFoo((x,y))
I know it's probably a spurious use case, but what if I want to adapt a tuple?
There could be an optional keyword argument to be explicit.
This would be a single-adapter lookup:
IFoo(from=my_tuple)
You probably already realized it by now, but this is a syntax error (remember: "from module import name").
While this would be a multi-adapter lookup:
IFoo(my_tuple)
To take my stab at this bikeshed painting, and since it doesn't seem likely we'd want to break backward compatibility, I think I'd prefer the other way around: IFoo(multi=my_tuple) and leave the first parameter for single adaptation, although what I'd really prefer is multi-adaptation on multiple positional parameter.
