python's list needs a thing list.clear() like c# arraylist

I agree that this is nice and clear, but as a relative newbie
wouldn't
some_list = []
This is different -- it creates a new list. Consider:
>>> some_list = [1,2,3]
>>> d = some_list
>>> d[1]
2
>>> some_list[:] = ['a','b','c']
>>> d[1]
'b'
>>> some_list = [1,2,3]
>>> d[1]
'b'
the [:] form allows references into the list to remain valid while the
direct assignment dopes not.

be also acceptable (and pythonic?)?
