Hello, I thought I understood list slices, but I don't. I want to sort only the last part of a list, preferably in place. If I do
>>> ll = [3, 1, 4, 2] >>> ll[2:].sort() >>> ll [3, 1, 4, 2] ll isn't changed, because ll[2:] is a copy of the last part of the list, and this copy is sorted, not the original list. Right so far? But assignment to the slice: >>> ll[2:] = [2, 4] >>> ll [3, 1, 2, 4] _does_ change my original ll. What did I misunderstand? Thanks, Sibylle -- Dr. Sibylle Koczian Universitaetsbibliothek, Abt.
