If you do, you'll find that the original is correct. (In extend, x is already a sequence, so you mustn't wrap it in a list. In append, you want only one element added, so you wrap x in a list.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1641109&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
