def returnzero:
    return def_a[2]





this is a simple version of the function i use, and of course in the real
version [0] and [1] is used as well.

what I am trying to do is to write a generic function like this

def returnzero (def_a):
    return def_a




in other words, a generic function that is able to use any list assigned to
it, so that i don't have to write 8 functions just to use 8 list,because
that would be dumb, right?
