Sorry, I cannot make sense of your sample code. If this is homework and your 
assignment is to find another way to insert items into a list have a look at 
slices. Example to get items three to five *out* of the list:

>>> items
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
>>> items[2:5]
[2, 3, 4]

Size zero is legal, too:

>>> items[7:7]
[]

Assigning is similar, and the size of the slice on the left doesn't have to 
be the same as that of the list on the right.
