As succeint and comforting as the explanation is....

I have consulted the Python Desgin Manual: Occult Edition, and if my
search of the list archives is true, the statement:

"""

A list is a data structure that is intended to be used with homogenous
members; that is,with members of the same type.

"""

is still 6 incantaions shy of becoming meaningful.
