Well, if is you a beginner, you can start using the method "help" with 
list as  argument
like "help(list)", there you can find the basic to work with lists. 
Another good place is look
to a beginner tutorial in python.org, there are good and shorts 
materials for explain
techniques and resources of each class related with lists.
