Or if for some reason you want to do it in place: cards[x:], cards[:x] = cards[:x], cards[x:] But note that the order of assignments is subtly important there, so unless you have a good reason for doing that, it's probably better just to create a new list for clarity. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
