Yes, it's called assignment. You can for example change a member of a list from an string to a tuple such as ( string, number ): >>> x = [ "fred", "jim", "susan" ] >>> x[x.index("jim")] = ( "jim", 11, ) >>> print x ['fred', ('jim', 11), 'susan'] > Do you have to know the number of items the list will have before making > it? No. See the append() method of the list object. -- Denis McMahon, denismfmcma...@gmail.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
