| You need the material in the Python Manual in the astonishingly
| useful Library Reference section 1.2.3: Built-In Types. The only
| thing you'll look at nearly as much is 1.2.1: Built-In Functions.

In the current version of the library reference, these are chapter 3
http://docs.python.org/lib/types.html
and section 2.1
http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html

A substantial number of newbie questions are answered therein.

'append' has several entries in the substantial lib ref index.
