The current list function is supposed to be something like a typecast: list() = [] xlist() = [] # ok list(list()) = [] # casting a list to a list does nothing xlist(xlist()) = [[]] # make a new list, not the same list(xrange(4)) = [0,1,2,3] xlist(xrange(4)) = [xrange(4)] # not the same list((1,2)) = [1,2] xlist((1,2)) = [(1,2)] etc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
