Hi I'm trying to understand why it is that I can do
>>> a = [] >>> a += 'stuff' >>> a ['s', 't', 'u', 'f', 'f'] but not >>> a = [] >>> a = a + 'stuff' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "str") to list Can someone explain the logic? Why is the in-place add not a type error but the usual add is? (This applies to both Python 2.6rc1 and 3.0b2) Thanks Roman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
