no shift/unshift?

[Michael P. Soulier]

    Hello,

    I was wondering, is there no built-in way to pull values off and on to a
list in python? append and pop are find if you are working with the right
side, but if you need to work with both, having something like shift and
unshift from perl would be nice. 
    If I just need to simulate a stack, I'll reverse the list if need be, but
sometimes I want to manipulate both sides. 

    For consistency, it'd be nice to see append called push, too. append and
pop just sounds wrong when thinking about a stack. :)

    Thanks for any advice,
    Mike
