Why is it list0.extend(list1) and not extend(list 0, list1) or stri0 = stri0.strip() and not stri0 = strip(stri0) Why have arguments on the left side at all, when usually the dot notation left to right implies a hierarchical relation: file.class or class.method etc.
You can also have it your way... >>> def extend(*args): ... try: ... args[0].extend(*args[1:]) ... except: ... raise AttributeError ... >>> ... >>> >>> a = [] >>> a.extend([1,2,3]) >>> a [1, 2, 3] >>> extend(a,[4,5,6]) >>> a [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] >>> Emile _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
