Dont forget 'extend':

>>> spam = ['spam', 'spam', 'spam', 'spam and eggs']
>>> toast = ['spam and toast', 'toast, eggs and spam', 'eggs, spam and bacon']

>>> spam.extend(toast)
>>> spam
['spam', 'spam', 'spam', 'spam and eggs', 'spam and toast', 'toast, eggs and
spam', 'eggs, spam and bacon']

'spam + toast' works the same, but creates a new list. extend() works as the
for loop above, appending each element of the 2nd list to the first,
in-place.
