That's what I hadn't understood. Although it's the same with ll[2].

It's not a list method, but it's a function:
>>> ll = [3, 1, 4, 2]
>>> ll[2:] = ll[2:].sorted()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in -toplevel-
ll[2:] = ll[2:].sorted()
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'sorted'
>>>
but this works:
>>> ll = [3, 1, 4, 2]
>>> ll[2:] = sorted(ll[2:])
>>> ll
[3, 1, 2, 4]
I'm using 2.4, but didn't look carefully at the changes. Thanks to all
who answered!
