Neither would I. But I would use:
result = process(blocks + [block])
in preference to:
temp = blocks[:]
temp.append(block)
result = process(temp)
del temp # don't pollute the global namespace
Can I make it clear that the dict addition PEP does not propose
deprecating or removing the update method? If you need to update a dict
in place, the update method remains the preferred One Obvious Way to do
so, just as list.append remains the One Obvious Way to append to a
list.
