That is a consistent interface standard in Python. But your suggestion of an .appended() method does tie in to the "fluid interface" conversation on this list a while back -- if you are interested in the idea, I suggest you search the archives. -CHB > -gyro > _______________________________________________ > Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org > To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ > Message archived at > https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/JH3F46JTLCH3ZIYCOVS4ULAYW3CJNUP4/ > Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ > -- Christopher Barker, PhD Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
