Ok, thanks. But there is a following question,when we say, >>> x=[1,2,3] we create a list.then we say, >>> x=[4,5,6] we create a new list and assign it to x for future use. How to destroy the before list [1,2,3]? does python destroy it automatically? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
