Untrue. List() and [] happen to both evaluate to the same thing, an
empty list. But there is no reason to expect list() and
[] to always evaluate to the same thing

Actually, []

i should also mention that
a=[i for i in xrange(10)]
and
b=list(j for j in xrange(10))
isn't really just a difference of using [] vs. list()
the first case is a list comprehension, the second case is a generator
comprehension which is then converted to a list
(the bug only applies to list compr

Hello,
in (most) python documentation the syntax "list()"
and "[]" is treated as being more or less the same
thing. For example "help([])" and "help(list())" point
to the same documentation. Since there are at least
two cases where this similarity is not the case, (see below)
can someone explain
