I'm sure you meant to write: a = [1, 2] b = ['x', 'y'] b[1:1] = a Occasional absence of mind makes other people feel useful! PS actually one *can* write a = [1, 2] ['x', 'y'][1:1] = a since this is not actually an assignment but rather syntactic sugar for a function call, but I don't know how one would use the modified list, since b = ['x','y'][1:1] = a doesn't quite fulfill the initial requirement ;) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
