Do you mean that you can't do:
lst.Choices = ["a", "b", "c"]
lst.Choices.append("d")
but that you instead have to:
lst = lst.Choices = ["a", "b", "c"]
lst.Choices.append("d")
lst.Choices = lst.Choices
This has struck me as kind of awkward, too. I wonder if we could make it better
all
around by accepting any sequence type to Choices, but converting that sequence
to a
tuple, so that if someone tries to modify it in place, they'd get an exception
and
understand immediately that they have to reassign the whole sequence.
