[Tutor] Add elements to list and display it [Very newbie question]

[Network Administrator]

Thanks, Eric for your help!

I appreciate your explanation about the reserved word "list" as well as the
code you gently wrote to me. Now, I want to show everybody what I did:

#!/usr/bin/env python
#####################
# This function fills any given list
#
mylist = []
x = 0
while (x != 't2'):
    x = raw_input('Enter IP: ')
    mylist.append(x)
mylist.pop()

""" # Discontinued
for i in mylist:
    print i
"""

# More useful to solve my particular problem.

for i, v in enumerate(mylist):
    print i, v



It works really fine to me.

Thanks! I continue learning and making.



Will.
