Are you sure you want to do that? a = b = []
binds a and b to the same empty list object so whatever you do to a will also appear in b because they both reference the same list object. Assignment does not create a new object, it simply binds a variable name on the left to the object on the right. Try this: a = b = [] a.insert(0,2) print a, b should print [2] [2] A great source of bugs if a and b are thought to be different objects.
