you can indeed have a nested list. One way you could do that looks like
donor = [
'George',
'Soros',
[ #<- 2nd element of outermost list
'99 First Street',
[ #<- 1st element of middling list
'33 Broadway Avenue',
'Apt 303', #<- 1st element of innermost list
],
'1 Park Avenue'
],
'New York', 'NY',
]
Then, to extract "Apt 303", you could do
donor[2][1][1]
A better explaination of nested lists can be found if you ctrl-f search
for "nested list" on this chapter
