Ok, I understand that.
Assignment to a list *slice* has to be of a list [or iterable, as per
Duncan], and it
replaces the elements in the slice by assigned elements.
I don't understand the second part of that sentence. I'm assuming "it"
refers to the list being assigned, "replaces the elements" is
self-evident, but what does "by assigned elements" refer to? It seems
when you assign a list to a list slice, nothing gets replaced, the slice
just gets deleted.
