<devil's_advocate> One option is to create a new "frozen list" type, a` la frozen sets. People who argue that "frozen list" is not needed because we already have the tuple type, while simultaneously arguing that tuples shouldn't grow list methods because they are conceptually different from lists will be bludgeoned to death with a paradox. :) </devil's_advocate> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
