Yes, sorry, I have to recycle! But how about this:
>>> rw = [[2,4], [4,5,6],[5,5]]
>>> rw += [[1,1]]*2
>>> rw
[[2, 4], [4, 5, 6], [5, 5], [1, 1], [1, 1]]
>>> rw = [[2,4], [4,5,6],[5,5]]
>>> rw.append([1,1]*2)
>>> rw
[[2, 4], [4, 5, 6], [5, 5], [1, 1, 1, 1]]
>>> rw = [[2,4], [4,5,6],[5,5]]
>>> rw.append([[1,1]]*2)
>>> rw
[[2, 4], [4, 5, 6], [5, 5], [[1, 1], [1, 1]]]
>>>
How can I recicle in this way using append?
