Sure: $ python3 Python 3.4.3 (default, Feb 12 2016, 15:58:12) [GCC 4.9.3] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> ['George', ... 'Soros', ... ['99 First Street', ... '33 Broadway Avenue', ['Apt 303'], ... '1 Park Avenue'], ... 'New York', 'NY'] ['George', 'Soros', ['99 First Street', '33 Broadway Avenue', ['Apt 303'], '1 Park Avenue'], 'New York', 'NY'] > In other words how do you correctly nest the > ['Apt 303'] so it goes with 33 Broadway Avenue.

Use the "del" operator: >>> foo = ['George', ... 'Soros', ... ['99 First Street', ... '33 Broadway Avenue', ['Apt 303'], ... '1 Park Avenue'], ... 'New York', 'NY'] >>> foo ['George', 'Soros', ['99 First Street', '33 Broadway Avenue', ['Apt 303'], '1 Park Avenue'], 'New York', 'NY'] >>> del foo[2][2] >>> foo ['George', 'Soros', ['99 First Street', '33 Broadway Avenue', '1 Park Avenue'], 'New York', 'NY'] > It is the ['Apt 303'] that is the problem, I know how to do the > other elements.
