Fun with lists:

         >>> l = list()
         >>> l.append('a')
         >>> l
         ['a']
         >>> l.extend(['b', 'c'])
         >>> l
         ['a', 'b', 'c']
         >>> l[1:] = [1, 2, 3]
         >>> l
         ['a', 1, 2, 3]
         >>> l.pop()
         3
         >>> l
         ['a', 1, 2]
         >>> l[:0] = ['z']
         >>> l
         ['z', 'a', 1, 2]
