But there are situations where you might want to treat it as a read-only list. E.g., an argument to a function, so that you can guarantee the function won't modify it. In that case, it makes sense for the non-modifying methods (index() and count()) to be available. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
